The Detroit Lions have quickly become one of the top teams in the NFL, currently boasting the best record in the NFC at 11-1 this season.

Their recent game against the Chicago Bears was a dramatic affair, captivating both TV audiences and those in the stadium.

Detroit jumped to an early lead, only to see rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears mount a strong comeback.

Chicago had a final opportunity to tie the game, but their attempt fell short when Williams’ last-ditch pass was incomplete, sparking wild celebrations in Detroit.

The game also raised questions about Chicago’s potential mismanagement of the clock in the final moments.

The holiday matchup between the Lions and Bears was notable not only for the thrilling action but also for the viewership records it set.

According to the NFL, “The early game on CBS between the Bears and Lions averaged 37.5 million viewers,” making it the most-watched early Thanksgiving Day game in history, surpassing last year’s record of 33.8 million viewers for the Packers vs. Lions game, which had previously held the title.

Now, the Lions are set for another highly anticipated showdown, this time against the Green Bay Packers.

The two teams will face off in Detroit this Thursday at 8:15 p.m., with playoff implications and the NFC North Championship on the line.

Fans are eager to see how this crucial contest will unfold as both teams battle for supremacy in the division.
