The Chicago Bears invaded Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day and came away with a 23-16 victory over division rival Detroit Lions. With Mitchell Trubisky out of action due to injury, Chase Daniel was in charge of the plays. However, the Bears' defense once again showed why they are the best in the NFL this season.
Chase Daniel gives Bears halftime lead

Trailing 7-3 late in the second quarter, Chase Daniel finally came up with a much-needed TD strike. On this day, he found Taquan Mizzell, giving Chicago a 9-7 lead as they headed into halftime.
