Bears vs. Lions score, live updates: Detroit hosts Thanksgiving Day matchup as big favorite over Chicago

Caleb Williams' touchdown pass is all the more impressive given that it came right after an awkward tackle from Jack Campbell. Williams' legs were bent back at an awkward angle on his way down, but he seems to be doing just fine — and has gotten Chicago within nine points.

Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen again with a massive 31-yard touchdown strike, cutting through Detroit's deficit. Chicago is still in this thing.

It looked like things were off to a tough start for the Bears, with Caleb Williams getting sacked by Lions lineman DJ Reader and his next pass falling incomplete. But at third-and-15, Williams connected with Keenan Allen for an 18 yard gain, getting the first down and proving that the Bears have some life.

It was all hands on deck for the Bears (and the Lions' defense), but Caleb Williams' last-second pass was incomplete. Chicago will get the ball first to start the second half.

Although Chicago got the turnover, the Bears were unable to get the ball down the field before the half expired. Detroit leads, 16-0, as the teams head into the locker room.

It's been all Detroit in this first half, with the Lions holding the ball for 23 of the 30 minutes and converting on all but one of their drives.

Right after forcing the fumble, the Bears finally get their first first down of the game, with Caleb Williams throwing to Cole Kmet for a 14 yard gain.

Chicago gets their second first down shortly afterwards, off an illegal contact penalty on Detroit. We'll take it!

With the turnover, the Bears will now get the ball back at their own six yard line. Is the tide finally turning for Chicago?

Chicago goes for it on fourth-and-three, but Caleb Williams' pass to D'Andre Swift is incomplete and the Bears will turn over on downs at Chicago's 37 yard line. Williams wants the the pass interference flag, but the refs let the play stand. Poor Chicago can't get any wins today.

The Lions have taken a commanding 16-0 lead, but they've now had to settle for three field goals where they could have gotten touchdowns. The Bears defense is doing its job well, and Detroit might be a little annoyed that it can't quite get into the end zone.

Chicago's struggles continue, as Caleb Williams' pocket collapses and his awkward pass towards Rome Odunze hits the ground. So far, the Bears have nine plays off of three drives.

At 3rd & goal, Goff is forced to slide under pressure with Bears lineman Gervon Dexter Sr. getting the sack.

Jake Bates kicks another field goal and the Lions are up 13-0.

Jared Goff finds Tim Patrick for a 30 yard gain, and then takes the contact for a roughing the passer penalty. Detroit then gets an additional 15 yards tacked on the end of the play as a result.

Star Detroit defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who has been out since October after breaking his leg, is at Ford Field today in a holiday mood.

It's been a tough game so far for the Bears, and a penalty doesn't help. Chicago TE Cole Kmet gets flagged for offensive pass interference, putting the Bears at 3rd & 14.

On that next down, Caleb Williams sprints around some crazy pressure, but is forced to throw the ball away, and Chicago will punt.

Detroit TE Sam LaPorta makes the tricky catch in the first seconds of the second quarter, and the Lions are up 10-0 over the Bears.

Jared Goff connects with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 29-yard pass, getting the first down and keeping the drive alive.

Matt Eberflus thinks that the call on Jameson Williams' incomplete pass is narrow enough to challenge, but instead wastes his challenge flag in the first quarter. Lions keep the ball.

Lions receiver Jameson Williams lost control of the ball as he was coming down with the catch. Bears think it's a fumble, but refs rule it an incomplete pass because he never quite had control.

Chicago is challenging the ruling.

Bears receiver DJ Moore hit the ground hard after a tough hit from the Lions, with the pass intended for him sailing out of bounds. Hopefully Moore is ok.

Detroit kicker Jake Bates kicks off, getting back to doink off the posts and through the uprights, and Bears will start their first drive with a touchback. Three more points for the Lions?

After a few incomplete passes in the red zone, Detroit takes a 3-0 led over the Bears off the opening drive.

A Lions play led to offensive tackle Penei Sewell getting the ball, poised for a potential touchdown throw. Unfortunately, Sewell was under pressure before he could get the throw off, and lost a few yards. What could have been.

It's been more than 25 years since John Madden infamously tried a turducken — a duck, stuffed into a chicken, stuffed into a turkey — live on air in honor of Thanksgiving.

Madden died in 2021, but the tradition lives on: The three NFL Thanksgiving games will all use a special coin for the coin flip, featuring Madden's face on one side and a six-legged turducken on the other.

Madden is also being honored with a patch on the team's uniforms.
