The Lions and Cowboys traditionally play every Thanksgiving, but most people don't know that the Chicago Bears have played the next most Thanksgiving games.

Detroit's running game against Chicago's defense. The Lions have a rushing TD in an NFL-record 25 straight games. Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are the first RBs on a team to have at least 10 TDs on the ground in consecutive years. The Bears are ranked 20th against the run, a relative weakness that may be pivotal in Detroit.

In Hicks' place, Owens will start his second consecutive game. He had mixed reviews against the Vikings, as he forced a fumble on Vikings' running back Aaron Jones and recovered it for a turnover at the goal line. He also whiffed on Jordan Addison in the third quarter, which led to a 69-yard gain.

This year’s Thanksgiving will bring football fans three matchups including two teams that have been a part of the NFL’s Turkey Day tradition since most fans can remember.

There have been few players easier to cash touchdowns than David Montgomery, and we expect the Lions running back to continue his strong red-zone presence on Thanksgiving.
