Halftime Report
Only two more quarters stand between the Lions and the victory they were favored to collect coming into this afternoon. Sitting on a score of 14-10, they have looked like the better team, but there's still two more quarters to play.
If the Lions keep playing like this, they'll bump their record up to 7-2 in no time. On the other hand, the Bears will have to make due with a 3-7 record unless they turn things around (and fast).

1st Quarter Report
The Bears are on the board, but we're still waiting on the Lions to respond. The Bears have jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead against the Lions.
The Bears have yet to string together two consecutive wins, but this may be their chance. For now, things are looking good for they.
Preview
The Detroit Lions will be playing in front of their home fans against the Chicago Bears at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Even though Los Angeles scored an imposing 38 points on Sunday, Detroit still came out on top. The Lions sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 41-38 win over the Chargers. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin.
The Lions' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jared Goff led the charge by throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Jahmyr Gibbs brought some help for the Lions off the bench as he gained 112 total yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Chicago gave up the first points last Thursday, but they didn't let that get them down. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Panthers 16-13.
Their wins bumped Detroit to 7-2 and Chicago to 3-7.
The Bears must know they're fighting an uphill battle given the 9.5-point spread they're up against. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last three times they've played the Lions.
Everything came up roses for Detroit against Chicago in their previous matchup back in January as the squad secured a 41-10 victory. Do the Lions have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Bears turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
