Windy City Gridiron
Big game on Sunday between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions, and we have everything you need for it right here.
There are no shortages of story lines in this one.
Ben Johnson’s return to Detroit. His friendship with Lions head coach Dan Campbell. Detroit fans’ disdain for Ben for leaving to coach a division rival. Will Detroit get its new offense going after just scoring one touchdown in Green Bay? Caleb Williams’ continued growth in Johnson’s offense. Can Chicago’s defense play a full four quarters? Is Cairo Santos on thin ice?
Kickoff is scheduled for 12:oo p.m. CT on Sunday, September 14, from Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. It’s a dome, so the weather will not be a factor.
The game will air on FOX with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma on the call, and if you live in the blue of this 506sports.com map, then you’ll get to see the game.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.

The last time I checked the odds from our partners at FanDuel, the oddsmakers had the Bears a 6.5-point home underdog to the Vikings. The game’s point total over/under was 46.5.
