The Chicago Bears’ bye week has passed, the players are back on the field practicing, and the Detroit Lions are coming to town to try to finish their season sweep.
The Bears played like the better team through three quarters the last time the two teams met in Week 11, but a couple of lightning-quick touchdown drives and a crushing Justin Fields strip sack gave Detroit the unlikely win. Chicago shook off the shocking defeat and beat the Minnesota Vikings the next week, and now the Lions are coming back for round two.
There are plenty of narratives to go around in this late point of the season, from the discussions of how the team can finish strong this week to the ever-present question of whether Fields has done enough to be Chicago’s QB1 next year. The race to the finish line has begun, so let’s discuss the biggest storylines ahead of the Bears’ Week 14 game against the Lions.
