The and face off on Sunday for the first time in 2023, but the 187th time in league history. The Bears hold a pretty commanding 104-77-5 lead in the rivalry, but the tables have been turned as of late. The Lions have won three of the last five matchups, and come into Sunday as eight-point favorites over the Bears.
In a lot of ways, the Bears are a team a year behind where the Lions are now. Like the 2022 Lions, Chicago has been scrappy in most of their losses this year, and they were hindered by a lot of early injuries.
