(Week 15) Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions

(4-10)
(8-6)










VS.
Recap: Lions 20 Bears 10
The Lions remain alive in the tough NFC wild card hunt with a comfortable home victory over the Chicago Bears. Matthew Stafford continues to carry the Lions offense on his 9-figure paycheck back while the running game continues to crumble. At first glance, the Lions have a capable defense...but then you'll realize they're playing the Bears and forget all about it. Despite two turnovers in the third quarter, Trubiskey had one of his better games. Consistency is his issue; in one play, he'll convert 3rd and 18 on a perfect throw on a slant route. The next, he'll overthrow the ball by a Willis Tower margin and get picked off in the end zone. The Lions need a Falcons loss to keep their playoff pipe dream alive, but they've also got a tricky schedule ahead. I might be a Vikings fan, but I can't help but root for this team. Even with the massive paycheck, Stafford remains humble and vocal on the field. If they can improve the running game, they could still be a postseason threat...stop laughing!
