If the Lions want to get themselves back on track this season, then they might be in luck as they head to Chicago to face a struggling Bears team. Detroit currently ranks 17th in the NFL by Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric in overall team efficiency. The Bears rank three spots behind them and would be much further back if their defensive and special team units weren’t in the top 10.
It’s been no secret that the offense is what’s been holding the Bears back, and you can thank Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky for a lot of it.
