The Detroit Lions hung 52 points on the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, falling just three points short of tying the franchise record of points scored in a single game. They did set a franchise record with 8.8 yards per play.

But there was a moment in the fourth quarter where it felt like the Lions may be treating this game a little personally. Already up 45-21 with only eight minutes left, the Lions faced a fourth-and-goal from the Bears’ 4-yard line. A field goal would have pushed the lead to 27 point, or at least four scores. Instead, the...

The Detroit Lions claimed their first win of the season in a big way, thrashing the Chicago Bears 52-21. The offense and defense for Detroit seemed to have found their stride, with both units looking significantly improved compared to their performance in Week 1.

There are many players who are deserving of a game ball for their heroics in this game, but one veteran receiver put up record numbers to help the Lions secure the win.

Game ball: Amon-Ra St. Brown

Stats: 9 receptions, 115 receiving yards, 3 TD, 2 carries, 7 rushing yards

“Sunday Night Football” is always a little sweeter after a Detroit Lions victory—particularly a blowout like that one. And this week’s primetime game has some intrigue to it. The Minnesota Vikings, fresh off a not-as-convincing win over the Chicago Bears, are hosting the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC showdown. The Falcons are a disappointing 0-1 after Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard, game-tying field goal with seconds left. Atlanta has promptly demoted Koo to backup kicker and former Lions kicker Parker Romo will get the start on Sunday night.

With the win on Sunday, the Lions moved to third place in...

All week, the Detroit Lions have downplayed the narrative that Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears had anything to do with coach Ben Johnson. Despite the fact that Johnson, the team’s offensive coordinator last year, left for a division rival, Detroit insisted this game was about them getting right after an embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers last week.

Both coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff continued to push that line after Detroit’s 52-21 beatdown of Johnson’s Bears.

“There was nothing disrespectful about it,” Goff said. “I think we’ve got so much respect for him and know what...

After a disappointing opening week against the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions came home on Sunday for their home opener against the Chicago Bears. Former offensive coordinator turned Bears’ head coach Ben Johnson was met with a loud amount of boos as he returned to Ford Field. It wasn’t just the crowd that made Johnson hear it, as the Lions players showed up and showed out on Sunday afternoon.

The Lions offense started the game with the ball and scored with ease, moving down the field with no trouble. The Bears responded with a similar drive that tied it...

A week after getting shut down by the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions came to play against another NFC North opponent. The Chicago Bears learned the hard way that the Lions remain a talented team despite their offseason poaching of Detroit’s former offensive coordinator. With motivation to prove themselves as Super Bowl contenders and motivation to silence a division rival, the Lions did not disappoint.

Detroit walked away from their Week 2 tilt with a staggering scoreboard of 52-21, a walloping of the Bears. The panic levels can settle after a rough first week. Now 1-1 on the season,...

The Detroit Lions lead the Chicago Bears 28-14 at halftime. Can they hold on for the win? Stick with us to find out.

The words “10-second runoff” open deep scars for Detroit Lions fans. Back in 2017, a little-known rule cost the Lions one more play to beat the Atlanta Falcons when they were just a yard away from victory.

But on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, a wild sequence involving the 10-second runoff rule worked in the Lions’ favor.

With the first half winding down, Jared Goff took a deep shot down the right sidelines to rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa. The wideout made an impressive one-handed grab, got his knee in-bounds, and set the Lions up first-and-goal from the Bears 4-yard line....

The Detroit Lions are looking to avoid back-to-back losses on Sunday, as the kick off the season with their second divisional matchup in a row. After losing to the Green Bay Packers, the Lions host the Chicago Bears in their home opener.

Chicago is coming off a loss of their own—a fourth-quarter implosion against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. The Bears seemingly had a hold on the game, leading 16-7 at the end of the third quarter with a chance to add to the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for them, a missed 50-yard...

The Detroit Lions (0-1) face off against the Chicago Bears (0-1) in a pivotal Week 2 game. To open the season, both teams dropped a divisional game, and with the Green Bay Packers already sitting at 2-0 (with wins over 2024 playoff teams), both teams can ill afford to fall behind two games in two weeks. But, more than likely, that will be a reality for one of these teams.

Media and fans will look at this matchup as the return of former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who now holds the Bears head coach job. But Lions players and...

The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of their 2025 Week 2 matchup with the Chicago Bears, and despite not practicing all week, the Lions’ starting left tackle, Taylor Decker, is active and expected to start.

Decker has been working through a shoulder injury this week, and coach Dan Campbell said the team was opting not to practice him, as they were trying “to buy him some time here, to where he feels better.” The extra time appeared to be just what the veteran tackle needed, and he looks like he’ll be healthy enough to play in this divisional...
