This week, Detroit Lions fans will have to deal with watching their team without hearing Chris Spielman foaming at the mouth in the background. As the Lions head to Soldier Field to face off against the Chicago Bears, FOX will be carrying the game with the Chris Myers-Daryl Johnston broadcast crew.
For the Lions, this feels like one last desperate effort to save the season. While the team has been impressively good against the division in recent memory, last week’s drubbing at the hands of the Vikings looms large. A third-straight loss would drop this team to 3-6, making any sort of playoff run extremely unlikely.
