You won’t see many touchdown celebrations as well-planned as this.

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions hosted the Chicago Bears in one of the NFL’s multiple Thanksgiving Day games. The first matchup of the day was a fun one, with the Bears coming away with a 23-16 win.

The game was tied at 16-16 in the fourth quarter when Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass from Matthew Stafford and returned it 41 yards to the end zone. The play was spectacular. But the touchdown dance — which included the entire defense — might’ve been even better.

Talk about a fired up group. They might be able to take that act to Broadway when the season ends.

Chicago’s win boosted its record to 8-3 on the season and it currently sits atop the standings in a gloomy NFC North. The Lions fell to 4-7 with the loss.

Sure, there were plenty of highlights and great plays on the field. That touchdown celebration may not be topped, though.
