Detroit Lions Week 17 scouting report: Why the Chicago Bears are losing despite Justin Fields’ success

It may have felt like it’s taken forever for last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers to be finally put in the rearview mirror, but you might just be shaking off a Christmas hangover yourself. In 72 hours, the Detroit Lions play to keep their playoff hopes alive against the division rival Chicago Bears at Ford Field.

Hopefully, the Lions resolution will be refocusing their attention and efforts toward stopping the run.

The Bears are losers of eight in a row, and one of those losses was courtesy of the Lions in Week 10, a 31-30 victory that helped propel Detroit’s playoff hopes and put a damper on Chicago’s string of exciting play.
