The Detroit Lions had to rebound from their second loss of the season. Losing to the Buffalo Bills highlighted the current state of the Lions: an elite offense and injuries aplenty. With a crucial stretch of games to close out the season, winning on the road against the Chicago Bears was a necessity, but not a guarantee. The Bears were an inexplicable coaching decision away from upsetting the Lions a few weeks ago, and while heads have rolled since, divisional tilts are typically hard-fought.
Not this one.
The Lions largely coasted in this victory, racing out to an early lead and never coming close to relinquishing it.
