The best reactions from Thanksgiving and the Detroit Lions’ win over the Bears.
It was an unusual nailbiter, but the banged up Detroit Lions pulled off their first Thanksgiving win since 2016.
There were quite a few eventful aspects to this 20-23 victory, from QB1 Penei Sewell to that wild ending. Here are some of my favorite reactions:
for the first time, quite possibly ever, we are thankful the detroit lions are the best team in the nfl and we get to watch them on thanksgiving.

Penei Sewell has now allowed zero sacks this season but been sacked himself.
That’s got to be some kind of record

Not often you can point to an offense and say that the RT is the featured player but that’s what Ben Johnson is doing with Penei Sewell—Detroit’s most dominant offensive star—today. Very fun to watch.

I just spoke with some in the Bears organization. What happened after last night’s game was very overwhelming in terms of emotion and frustration for everyone.
One player described it as “absolute disbelief.”
“Something I’ve never been part of in my career.”

Bears no doubt botched the end of that game.. but it never should’ve happened in the first place. That PI call on 4th and long was one of the biggest horse shit calls I’ve ever seen. Karma.

- You may remember a few years back Jeff Daniels and Peyton Manning helped end the curse of Bobby Layne. He joined FOX 2’s pre-game show with a song he wrote about the whole affair.

THIS IS AWESOME
A @Lions fan named Samantha has been donating money for every INT by Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch…

- Kerby Joseph joined Sleeper show “Kickin It with Dee” and it looks like a great interview.
Jahmyr Gibbs or David Montgomery, Who’s harder to tackle?
“Jah, if you don’t come correct he’s gone shake you outcha boots. D Mo, you can come correct , you just gonna get ran over.” Kerby Joseph weighs in on the question that’s been plaguing defenses & much more! Make sure you… pic.twitter.com/LTDbocJNVv
