Thanksgiving football always delivers drama — but this year, fans feasted on the Chicago Bears instead of turkey. The halftime show headliner, Shaboozey, had NFL fans buzzing — not just for his performance but because he somehow stayed on the field longer than the Bears’ offense could manage!
Social media roasted the Bears’ lackluster display. It was a night of limelight for Shaboozey and turnovers for the Bears, as fans couldn’t help but point out the irony of the most entertaining thing about Chicago’s game happening with the teams off the field.
Shaboozey’s Halftime Show Stole the Spotlight From the Bears’ Offense
The Bears’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions turned into an internet roast. Shaboozey’s halftime performance outshined the Bears’ offense, which managed just seven minutes of possession, two first downs, and 57 yards in the first half.
The Grammy-nominated artist’s performance wasn’t just a musical hit — it became a meme factory. Fans channeled their frustration into humor, with one writing, “And he’s officially been on the field longer than the Bears offense‼️”
The sarcasm reflected deep disappointment as fans grappled with the Bears’ inability to sustain drives.
And he's officially been on the field longer than the bears offense‼️

One user summed up the sentiment: “Shaboozey halftime performance > This Bears offense.”
By night’s end, Shaboozey’s set stood out as the game’s highlight, while the Bears’ performance became a punchline. The Lions grabbed a 23-20 victory, and the Bears left fans asking if their offense ever truly showed up. Social media delivered the final blow, turning a rough day into a comedy special.
Lions Feast on History, End Thanksgiving Drought With 23–20 Win
The Lions gobbled up their Thanksgiving demons, snapping a seven-year holiday drought with a 23-20 win over the Bears. They’re riding a 10-game win streak, tying their 1934 franchise record. Talk about a historic meal!
Jared Goff dished out the goods, throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns to Sam LaPorta. Detroit’s first half was pure domination: 279-53 yards and a comfy 16-0 lead at the break.
The Bears made it spicy late, cutting the gap to three with five minutes left, but a clock-management fumble in their final drive handed Detroit the W. With an 11-1 record, the Lions look like the NFL’s ultimate Thanksgiving treat.
