The Chicago Bears will kick off the game with 11-year veteran quarterback Andy Dalton after rookie Justin Fields injured his ribs last week. The three-time Pro Bowler was injured earlier in the year, leaving the lineup with a knee injury after starting the first two games of the season.

The Lions are hopeful Jared Goff will return to center after missing a game with an oblique injury. Goff comes across as questionable after being limited in workouts all week.

Despite how bad Goff looks, backup Tim Boyle was even worse against the Browns. He was 15 of 23 for 77 yards with two interceptions in his first NFL start.

Bears inactives for today's game:

Lions inactives for today's game:

It's almost time for Thursday Night Football. Who will win at the start of Week 12?

The Chicago Bears have lost five games in a row and could also lose their coach this week.

Less than 48 hours before kickoff at Ford Field, Matt Nagy received many questions at a press conference about a report that he was told he will no longer coach the Bears after Thursday's game.

If Chicago only played Detroit, Nagy would have as much stability as any coach in sports. He is 6-1 against the lowly Lions and one game under .500 against the rest of the NFL.

The winless Detroit Lions will start the NFL game schedule on Thanksgiving as usual and they have a lot of trouble of their own for a change.

Detroit has been close to winning lately, but has still fallen short. They lost by three points last Sunday at Cleveland after a 16-point tie the week before at Pittsburgh.

First-year head coach Dan Campbell desperately hopes the Lions will clinch a victory with all eyes on the holidays and planning for the following season.

We begin with the first game of this triple card, kicking off NFL Week 12.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Chicago Bears are not playing well right now and have had a very uneven season, losing their last five games. They will try to end their losing streak by beating the Lions in the Thanksgiving Day game for just their second road win of the season.

QB Andy Dalton completed 11 of 23 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He is expected to start as a starter as Justin Fields is injured. David Montgomery had 14 carries for 58 yards, while Darnell Mooney had five receptions for 121 receiving yards and a touchdown.

The Bears enter Week 12 averaging 16.3 points per game. They are averaging 155.8 passing yards and 132.1 rushing yards per game. While his defense has struggled, receiving 24 points per game. They allowed 16 points in their last game and tonight against the Lions, they will have to pressure the opposing QB and control the running attack to take the victory.

The Detroit Lions are a mess after they've had a lot of trouble this season and haven't won a game yet. They will try to end their lousy winless streak by beating the Bears tonight for their first win of the year.

Tim Boyle completed 15 of 23 passes for 77 yards and had two interceptions in the loss to the Cleveland Browns. With Jared Goff still listed as questionable for this game, Boyle will likely start if Goff can't play on Thanksgiving. D'Andre Swift had 14 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown, while T.J. Hockenson had six receptions for 51 yards.

The Lions are averaging 16 points per game. They are averaging 197.8 passing yards and 114.2 rushing yards per game. In addition, the team has struggled defensively as well, allowing 27.3 points per game. They allowed 13 points in their last game. They will need to improve a lot defensively and a miracle if they want to get their first win in a season that has been disastrous.

It all started when the Lions franchise was just five years old after being founded in 1929 in Portsmouth, Ohio, under the name Spartans. Portsmouth was a very small town that did not have the infrastructure to support a professional team in the nascent NFL. So George A. Richards, owner of the Detroit radio station, bought the Spartans and moved them to town from him in 1934.

They were a solid team that was playing well and promised interesting things, but with a secondary role in the city as it was the Major League Baseball team, Hank Greenberg's Tigers, who had the most support from the inhabitants and more after have achieved the American League Championship in that year. So during that season, the Lions, because of their low popularity, only aspired to take away at most 15,000 fans if they played on the same day. It was then that, desperate to get Detroit excited about its fledgling NFL franchise, Richards had the idea of ​​playing a game on Thanksgiving.

Since Richards' WJR was one of the largest radio stations in the country, he had great influence on its network and convinced NBC to broadcast the game on 94 stations across the country.

The result was all a success. The undefeated Chicago Bears came in as defending champions, and since the Lions only had one loss, the winner of the first Thanksgiving game would take the NFL West Division.

On November 29, 1934, the University of Detroit Stadium registered a spectacular house in its 26,000 seats and many fans without a ticket were left out of the stadium. The result was a 19-16 Chicago Bears win, and since then the tradition of the Lions always playing a game, on a day as important as Thanksgiving, has continued to this day.

Ford Field is an American football stadium in the city of Detroit, Michigan, home to the Detroit Lions of the NFL. It was inaugurated on August 24, 2002 and has a capacity for 65,000 people.

It hosted Super Bowl XL played in 2006 between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks. It also hosted the Wrestlemania 23 wrestling on April 1, 2007 and the NCAA Basketball Final Four on April 6, 2009.

The stadium has a closed roof, allowing it to be used every day of the year regardless of the weather. The roof side panels are translucent, so less artificial lighting is required during the day than in a traditional indoor stadium. In 2017, Ford Field underwent its first major renovation.
