The 4-7 Lions were destroyed on Thanksgiving Day by the Houston Texans, so now they have lost two straight games. Meanwhile, the Bears were clobbered on Sunday by the Green Bay Packers. Chicago has dropped five games in a row.
This week marks will be the first game as interim head coach for Darrell Bevell. He was promoted after the Lions fired Matt Patricia on November 28.
With Mitchell Trubisky under center, the Bears have a chance to pick up the win. But Nick Foles could also return to lead Chicago to victory. Either way, Sunday will offer an interesting rivalry game between these two teams.
