The Detroit Lions look to extend their seven-game winning streak on Thanksgiving when they take on the Chicago Bears on Thursday.

If Detroit prevails, it would also be their tenth win in a row this season. The Lions are currently in first place in the NFC and are getting closer and closer to a playoff spot. If the chips fall on Sunday, the playoffs could be decided as early as this week.

The Lions’ participation in the holiday is an annual tradition and they have become one of the league’s best teams in 2024. This makes them one of the main attractions. For veterans like center Frank Ragnow, these opportunities to play on the national stage always come with a different kind of excitement. Ford Field is sure to be thrilled with the team’s performance.

“It’s a blessing that we’re all grateful for,” Ragnow said on FOX 2 Game Day Live. “I think the history that comes with the NFL and the Lions being a part of it is so cool. And the atmosphere, this game, there is enthusiasm. No matter what year, the years we’ve had so far, it’s always been a game that everyone looks forward to, the fans are crazy, it’s in the national spotlight and it’s a true blessing to be a part of.
