The team is 0-1 headed back to Ford Field to face off with the Chicago Bears, an NFC North rival and a team now coached by former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The coaching turnover in Detroit has been one heavily reported on, and one that's led to speculation about some guaranteed regression coming the Lions way.
Another coaching change at the defensive coordinator position has allowed for Kelvin Sheppard, the previous linebackers coach for the Lions, to step into the role. And, while he was unhappy with what he saw in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, he has moved on to hyping up his unit for a Week 2 against a former friend turned foe in Johnson and the Bears.
