Detroit Lions crash in NFL power rankings before Week 2 clash with Bears

The Detroit Lions are racing quickly toward a crucial Week 2, and it's just as big for their opponent, the Chicago Bears.

Detroit is coming off a humbling season-opening loss to their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers. The Bears also have a divisional loss under their belts, on Monday night as the Minnesota Vikings rallied past them.
