DETROIT – Rewriting a narrative.
Undoubtedly, the Detroit Lions are having an amazing season, yet is it enough to break the seven-year streak of losses during its Thanksgiving tradition?
“Oh yeah, no question,” Tom Bassett said. “The bears should really wish they weren’t coming to town.”
Fans certainly hope so ahead of the Lions vs Bears game on Thursday (Nov. 27) at Ford Field.
“Prediction? I’m going to say 34-6,” Marie Fachini-Kurily said.
The gritty team is currently on a historic nine-game winning streak, which has been the longest since 1934.
“We got to come too cocky because it’s our house. Ain’t nobody going to come in our house and beat us,” Basam Petros said.

“I feel [really] good about it. I think they break the jinx, and I think the team is ready,” said Mike “Rocky” Rochwell, a store employee.
Meanwhile, the Wojtowicz’s, who have no ties to Michigan, drive most years from North Carolina for the Thanksgiving face-off.
They believe they’ll witness history in person.
“Dan Campbell has just got these guys so focused – look at all the injuries we’ve had. Next man up, bam – they’re doing their jobs,” Ron Wojtowicz said. “The Bears are in trouble.”
