Despite a weaker performance towards the end, the Detroit Lions win in the North American professional league NFL further at will. The team led by German football professional Amon-Ra St. Brown won against the Chicago Bears 23:20 on Thanksgiving, making it their eleventh success in a row. With a total of eleven wins from twelve games, the Lions remain at the top of the NFC and therefore have the best prospects of home advantage in the playoffs.
Quarterback Jared Goff and tight end Sam LaPorta each scored two touchdowns for the Lions, who were sometimes very vulnerable this time. The Bears, who turned up the heat after halftime, scored touchdowns through Keenan Allen (2) and DJ Moore. One of the highlights of the game came from wide receiver Jameson Williams, who completely jumped over Bears opponent Kevin Byard while sprinting.
Overall, the Lions’ performance was not as convincing as in their recent wins against the Indianapolis Colts (24:6) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (52:6). The recently strong defense also made a few mistakes against the Bears. In a wild game towards the end, the Lions saved the victory over time.
