The Detroit Lions schedule leaks are starting to come in, as we get nearer to the 8 p.m. ET official NFL schedule release. For the fourth time in the past seven years, the Detroit Lions will face off against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving, according to The 33rd Team.
The Lions are currently in the midst of a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving—with their last win coming against the Vikings in 2016. The Bears have won three straight Thanksgiving games against Detroit, with the Lions’ last holiday win over Chicago coming in 2014. That said, the Lions have won three of their last four games against the Bears.
But this version of the Bears will be much different than the one we’ve seen in the recent past. Most notably, out is Justin Fields, in is rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears also won four of their final six games in 2023 (including one over the Lions), so Chicago is entering the season with a fair amount of expectations.
While another NFC North matchup on Thanksgiving is slightly disappointing and boring, this particular matchup could be a big one, as both teams have realistic playoff chances this year.
Check out all of the latest Lions schedule news and rumors with our 2024 Lions schedule tracker, and keep your eyes peeled for the entire schedule to be released around 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night. We’ll have instant analysis, quick thoughts, and full coverage of the 2024 NFL schedule release.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a “News Staff” byline. Often, the “News Staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
(CBS DETROIT) – Macomb County resident Linda Lobes has been facing the lasting impacts of Lyme disease after a tick bite in 1989.
Since then, she has made it her goal to educate people, especially with the summer on the horizon.
“Everything was falling apart. I was originally diagnosed with MS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and I was also sent to a psych ward to be evaluated,” Lobes told CBS News Detroit.
She spent three years with multiple doctors, which all concluded with a Lyme disease diagnosis. Since then, she has been named president of the Michigan Lyme Disease Association and uses her traumatic experiences to help people when faced with tick bites.
“About 50% of people get a bullseye rash. You can get bit by a tick in the leg, and it could appear on your arm. The rash can appear anywhere, so you want to make sure you watch for a rash,” Lobes said.
She said it can also start with flu-like symptoms and may make you think you have a cold.
Lobes says Michigan’s mild winter brought tick activity far earlier than the typical spring and summer months, as ticks can live under fallen leaves at ground level.
Regarding protective measures, she recommends insect repellents and a classic tool that can be used for dogs and kids when you get home.
“I tell people to use a lint roller. Like, after bringing my dog in from the trails, I have a lint roller and I roll it over him just to see if I pick up any ticks that way,” Lobes said.
