The Bears don’t have to worry about quarterback Caleb Williams’ cadence at the line of scrimmage Sunday.

Coach Ben Johnson is returning to the stadium for the first time since he left the Lions to go to a rival — and the Lions are playing their first regular-season home game since losing last season as the top seed in the playoffs.
