The Detroit Lions look more than prepared to snap their seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving and get the feast started early. While the Lions have three field goals in the first half, they have scored on all four first-half possessions to take a commanding 16-0 lead over the Chicago Bears at halftime.
Sam LaPorta has the lone touchdown for the Lions, a 3-yard pass from Jared Goff on the first play in the second quarter that put Detroit up 10-0. The Lions went into the red zone on their first three possessions, only to come up with two field goals inside the 5-yard line. Jake Bates has field goals of 30, 36, and 48 yards.
The Lions have outgained the Bears 253-15 at one point in the first half, as the Bears went three-and-out on their first three possessions. During that stretch, the Lions outgained the Bears in plays 42-9. The Bears didn’t get a first down until 55 seconds left in the first half, the first play after Jahmyr Gibbs fumbled inside the 10-yard line when the Lions were looking to go up 23-0. Bears cornerback Tyrique Stephenson forced the fumble.
