\"Detroit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

The Detroit Lions have an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth this year as soon as at the conclusion of Week 13.<\/p>\n

Starting the season winning 10 of their first 11 games has put Dan Campbell’s squad in position to contend for another division title and a chance at the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.<\/p>\n

Detroit is taking the field Thursday for the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic against the Chicago Bears. All of the clinching scenarios require the Lions to defeat the Bears at Ford Field.<\/p>\n

According to Sports Illustrated, “Detroit is 37-45-2 all-time on Turkey Day. A nine-game losing streak from 2004-12 and the current drought since 2016 has dragged down their overall record. The Dallas Cowboys, who have played the most Thanksgiving Day games other than the Lions, are 32-23-1 in their traditional home game which follows the Lions.”<\/p>\n
