Detroit Free Press sports writers Dave Birkett and Carlos Monarrez break down the good, the bad and the ugly of the Lions' 37-34 overtime win against the Chicago Bears.

Calvin Johnson performed as though he were a revelation in the Lions' first win, reconnecting with quarterback Matthew Stafford. Getting big yards after the catch.
