The NFL Are Looking ahead to Detroit Lions next opponent: Detroit blows into the

Take a glance at our preview of the Detroit Lions next opponent, the Chicago Bears in an upcoming divisional battle in the Windy City.

For the first time since 1962, the Detroit Lions have won nine of their first 12 games to start a season thanks to this afternoon’s victory over the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome. It will be a divisional matchup next Sunday in Week 14, as Detroit heads to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It will be their second matchup since Detroit’s thrilling comeback victory at Ford Field on November 19.

The Lions weathered a relentless comeback attempt by the Saints in the second half of today’s game, holding on to their initial 21-10 halftime lead. Quarterback Jared Goff‘s performance included 16-of-25 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns, while Sam LaPorta showcased his talent with nine receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown.

Touchdowns from David Montgomery and Jameson Williams highlighted the offensive effort, supported by defensive stalwarts Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes, who contributed with four and three tackles, respectively.

The Bears’ last game was on November 27 against the Minnesota Vikings, that featured anything but an exciting offensive performance by either team. The Bears would prevail by a 12-10 final score, improving their record to 4-6.

Quarterback Justin Fields completed 27-of-37 passes for 217 yards, yet it was kicker Cairo Santos who powered all of Chicago’s offense, securing four field goals, including the game-winner with a mere 10 seconds remaining in regulation.
