Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears: Storylines
Detroit Lions are having another year to forget but they’ll try to step up in the traditional annual holiday game in front of their fans. Last time out, Detroit came up short again as Cleveland Brownswon 13-10. It remains to be seen whether Tim Boyle continues behind center or if Jared Goff is ready to go this time.
The Lions will have to watch out the upcomingopponents’ defense, though, as they produced six sacks and nine QB hits in Week 11. But the Chicago Bears aren’t in a comfortable spot either following their fifth defeat in a row. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields would be out with injured ribs and Andy Dalton is expected to takeover once more.
The ‘Red Rifle’ replaced Fields on great fashion vs. the Ravens, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 8.7 yards per attempt at a 107.3 rate. Will he guide Chicago to a much-needed win on Thanksgiving Day?
