By my count, the Bears franchise has played 31 times on Thanksgiving day.
In the first NFL season (1920), the Bears were known as the Decatur Staleys and they played the Chicago Tigers on Thanksgiving.
After moving to Chicago, the Bears played their crosstown rival, Chicago Cardinals, each Thanksgiving between 1922-1933 and then the Bears played the Detroit Lions each Thanksgiving between 1934-1938 and 1947 and 1949.
Since 1950, the Bears have played on Thanksgiving against the Dallas Texans in 1952, the Lions in 1964, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1990, 1992, 1996, and 1998 and the Dallas Cowboys in 1981 and 2004.
The Bears all time record in Thanksgiving day games is 16-13-2.
