I’ve said it a few times this season already, but this Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions is a must-win game for the Chicago Bears. They not only need to keep their lead atop the NFC North, but they need to exorcise the Lion demons that has surrounded this franchise the last five years.
After this game the Bears have another NFC North foe, the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, then it’s back at it with the Lions on Thanksgiving day.
This is a statement game for the Bears before playing five of their last eight games within the division.
