When: 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
Where: Ford Field in Detroit.
TV/radio: Fox; WXYT-FM (97.1; other radio affiliates).
Line: Bears by 3½.
Game notes: The Lions get a battered Bears team dealing with rumors of a coach on the hot seat and a five-game losing streak. Not only that, but starting quarterback Justin Fields, who helped the Bears beat the Lions in Week 4, will miss the game with a rib injury suffered Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Former Pro Bowler Andy Dalton, who won the quarterback job to begin the season but was first injured, then demoted, will start Thursday.
