Detroit vs Chicago Game Preview
Why Detroit Will Win
Detroit might have a whole slew of problems, but the first two losses were to San Francisco and Green Bay teams, and the third was to Baltimore on one of the greatest field goals – helped by a missed delay of game call – in the history of the NFL.
The passing game is rolling. Jared Goff has ben more than fine, the running game isn’t that awful, and now the O gets a Chicago team that has a D, but might not have a completed forward pass.

But it’s the NFL. After getting ripped to shreds all week, the Bears – especially the coaching staff – will find a way to get this done. It won’t be anything pretty.
