WHEN THE BEARS HAVE THE BALL
Caleb Williams and the offense face a difficult challenge on a short week, on the road, against a Lions defense that ranks second in the NFL in points allowed, despite playing without injured Pro Bowl defensive end Aidan Hutchinson for the last six weeks. The Lions, in fact, have not allowed a touchdown in their last 10 quarters.
But the Bears’ offense has one thing going for it — momentum after back-to-back improved performances under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.
