Chicago -- Don’t let the final score fool you. For the third consecutive game, the Detroit Lions were thoroughly outplayed and embarrassed by the competition in a 34-22 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Chicago scored touchdowns with their first four possessions, jumping out to a 26-0 lead in the middle of the second quarter, abusing a secondary missing All-Pro cornerback Darius Slay.
After receiving the opening kickoffs, the Bears needed eight plays to cross the goal line for the first of five times. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed all five of his throws on the drive, including a 35-yard slant to Allen Robinson, which set up Tarik Cohen’s 3-yard touchdown plunge.
