A solid season was instantly forgotten on Thanksgiving as Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara got carved like a turkey on multiple occasions against the Lions. After the Bears scored on their opening drive, it took Blough just three plays to respond, hitting wide receiver Kenny Golladay for a 75-yard score as he blew past Amukamara.

It began a long day for the veteran defensive back, who struggled in coverage and, if not for safety Eddie Jackson’s interception, may have cost the team the game as Golladay beat Amukamara yet again on a deep route.

He fell for double moves and was a liability against Golladay, who popped off for 158 yards on just four catches. Up to that point, Amukamara was having a good season overall. But with questions already surrounding his 2020 status, this game was not a good look for him.
