NFL Week 13 kicks off in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, where the Lions will take on the Chicago Bears in an attempt to extend their winning streak to ten games. With 21 rushing touchdowns this season between Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, the Lions continue to dominate the league thanks to their double-headed running game.
The Bears have lost five straight games despite playing significantly better in their last game. To improve their prospects of making the playoffs, they must get back to winning ways in the upcoming weeks.

Weather forecast for Lions vs. Bears on Thanksgiving Day
Expect clouds to cover the area and possibly some snow showers if you want to attend the Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions game at Ford Field on Thursday.
It is expected to be chilly on Thursday morning in Detroit, with highs in the lower 40s and temps feeling like the 20s to 30s. After the game begins, there will likely be less clouds, but it will still be around 37 degrees and a little windy.
Having said that, the game is scheduled for Ford Field, a stadium with a retractable roof. This implies that the players' performances won't be impacted by the weather, as the stadium can be covered if the conditions call for it.
How to watch Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears on Thursday?
The Detroit Lions have lost all of the last seven games they have played on Thanksgiving Day, including a 29-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers last year. On Thursday, they will play the Chicago Bears in an attempt to end that streak.
If there's a good time to end their bad run on Thanksgiving Day, it's now. The Lions are off to their best start in a season since 1934 and haven't lost an NFL game since Week 2. The Bears, their opponent on Thanksgiving Day this year, haven't won an NFL game since Oct. 13.
Since firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and bringing in Thomas Brown, the Bears' offense has gotten better, but they haven't been able to convert that development into victories.
The Lions-Bears game will be televised on CBS and kickoff from Ford Field in Detroit is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Jim Nantz (play-by-play) and Tony Romo (color analyst) will work as the game's announcers. Tracy Wolfson will be the sideline reporter for the game.
