DETROIT — Bears fans dreaming of their next head coach had to be impressed by Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson in the first half of Thursday’s game.
In the second? Not so much.
The Lions dominated the Bears in the first two quarters of their eventual 23-20 win. When the teams ran into the locker room, the Lions had run a whopping 47 plays for 279 yards — 144 on the ground and 135 in the air.
They led 16-0, but it felt like a bigger score.
