Here is why the Lions can win
The Bears are a team looking for an identity. For years it was the great Bears defense, but those years are far removed. They tried to usher in a new era with Jay Cutler which obviously hasn’t worked as planned. So here we are with the John Fox coached Bears. I respect Fox and think he will have them back with a fearsome defense, but they aren’t there yet. While on paper Chicago is the 7th ranked total defense, they are giving up 28 points a game. Most of those points are coming from the passing game as teams are killing Chicago through the air for a 105 QB rating good for 5th in the league and a 11/2 touchdown to interception ratio. If there was ever a game that Matthew Stafford and the rest of the Lions could get back on track with this is the one.
Chicago has some nice young talent with guys like Ego Ferguson at defensive tackle and Steve Fuller at corner but the Bears only have nine sacks on the year and should have a hard time covering Golden Tate and Calvin Johnson.
