Bears not taking 0-5 Lions for granted

In quest of their third straight victory, the Bears will visit Detroit Sunday to face the NFL's only winless team. But that doesn't mean they're taking the 0-5 Lions for granted.

"They've got a great offense," said outside linebacker Pernell McPhee. "They've got weapons. We're not going to take them any more lightly than we take anybody else."

Those aren't just words to the Bears, who have lost four straight games to the Lions for the first time since 1971-73 and have yielded 74 points in their last two trips to Detroit.
