Chicago Bears fans can rest easily, for one week anyway. The Detroit Lions brought a sense of calm to what had been a fairly panicked franchise.
Justin Fields responded with a terrific game in his first Soldier Field start, and the Bears never lost control in a 24-14 victory over the Lions to even their record at 2-2.
Detroit dropped to 0-4 for the sixth time since 2001. The Lions are 2-12 in their past 14 games, dating back to last season.
They made it a game with two second-half TD drives but hurt themselves early in the game by coming up empty their three first drives.
