The Chicago Bears face the Detroit Lions in a crucial divisional clash, with the Bears favored by three points and aiming for better playoff seeding. The Bears, under new head coach Ben Johnson, are on the brink of twelve regular-season wins, a significant improvement from last years ten-game losing streak. Caleb Williams is shining, poised to start every game in consecutive seasons for the first time since the seventies. The Lions, despite their eight and eight record, have a formidable offense led by Jared Goffs 4,233 yards and 33 touchdowns. However, injuries have taken a toll, with key players like Penei Sewell, Alim McNeill, and Amon-Ra St. Brown limited or out.
