Everything you need to know about the Lions' Week 2 game against the Bears, including the line, injury report, broadcast and officiating crews and three storylines meriting your attention.
If this is going to be another great season the Lions will need to show they can turn into an easy win. If they struggle again, the Lions could be heading into a down year 10-7 or 9-6.
What worries about going against Ben Johnson is he will have a play or two they worked on for this game. My guess is Ben will try to get Joseph out of position for one big play, and I worry he gets Swift running past Jack Campbell for another.
But the move the chains and control the game, no chance. The Bears just are they are not efficient in enough plays to threaten the Lions.
All things being equal, last year was last year. As with anything, you have to stay on top of things and stay focused. The Lions should be zeroed in for today's action. The Bears are still the Bears until they are not. That ain't today.
