Earlier this week, Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit reached out with an interesting offer. He asked for a contributor for Windy City Gridiron to offer up three reasons why the Chicago Bears might lose Sunday’s game. In exchange, he offered up the three reasons he thinks the Detroit Lions might lose instead.
Here’s what Jeremy told me.
Reason #1 - The Lions defense cannot defense mobile quarterback
Detroit has an incredibly young, inexperienced defense, and that has left them susceptible to undisciplined play. Where we have seen it the most is in their pass rushing lanes, as defensive linemen regularly get overeager and overrun the quarterback, leaving huge gaps for speedy quarterbacks to exploit.
