If there’s a strength of this Lions team, it’s their passing offense. The Bears have been dealt a slight reprieve as it appears Detroit’s top wideout Kenny Golladay won’t play Sunday, as he’s been ruled doubtful with a hamstring injury. But the Bears will still have to contend with the likes of Marvin Jones, Danny Amendola among a slew of others.

The Bears have two new starters in the secondary, including safety Tashaun Gipson. But Chicago does return two of the game’s best in safety Eddie Jackson and cornerback Kyle Fuller. Rookie cornerback Jaylon Johnson will get the start opposite Fuller, so Johnson will be challenged immediately in his first career start.
