Matt Patricia’s attempts to replicate his success with the New England Patriots at Detroit have been suboptimal, to say the least, but he’s got his team back at full strength and a revamped defensive unit.

The Bears, on the other hand, continue to have one of the top-tier defenses in the league led by Khalil Mack, but are a huge question mark on the other side of the gridiron with Mitch Trubitsky under center.

Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears: Storylines

Matthew Stafford is back at full strength and extra motivated to silence his critics. The Lions are coming off a 3-12-1 season but having their star quarterback leading the way again will certainly help them improve that record.

Stafford has plenty of interesting weapons at hand in Marvin Jones Jr, Kenny Golladay, andT.J. Hockenson plus a fully healthy Kerryon Johnson. However, they’ll face a tough task in their season opener vs. such a good defense.

Matt Nagy’s team gave up a lot of draft capital and money to trade for Nick Foles, yet they named Mitch Trubisky their starting quarterback vs. the Lions. Then again, everything can change in the blink of an eye if he continues to underperform.

Mitch has fared pretty well vs. the Lions throughout his brief career in the NFL, including two efforts with 3 touchdowns. Now, he’ll be under a lot of pressure to hold on to his starting job with Foles breathing on his neck.
