Dan Campbell vs Matt Eberflus
Detroit showed both offensive prowess and defensive resilience during their latest victory, amassing 347 yards total offense while holding off the Saints to 362 total yards of total offense. Crucially, they capitalized on two turnovers to convert them into game-changing opportunities – something the Bears will test them on soon enough! As they pursue NFC North supremacy this season, battles with them are sure to add another chapter to an already compelling campaign.
Jared Goff has led Detroit’s charge with 3,288 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions this season – leading the team to its division title. David Montgomery leads the backfield rushers with an incredible 74-yard average per carry and 10 touchdowns; Jahmyr Gibbs contributes 626 rushing yards with five scores to complete Detroit’s explosive ground game.
Detroit’s Top Receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown stands out as a shining light among Lions receivers, amassing 1,042 yards and six touchdown catches for unpredictability to their offensive strategy that stands out. Meanwhile, their formidable defense has produced 25 quarterback sacks and nine interceptions, showing their ability to disrupt opposing offenses and create turnovers.
On the other side of the field, the Chicago Bears — currently at the bottom of the NFC North with a 4-8 record — hope to thwart the Lions’ upward momentum. Despite an up-and-down campaign so far, in Week 12 they saw some success when they scored an important 12-10 victory against Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football; their defense played an instrumental part by holding them to 242 total yards while forcing four turnovers and saving four field goals from being missed by Minnesota.
Justin Fields’ Strong Performance
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has led them to success this year with 1,587 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Fields is also capable of using his dual-threat skills with 400 rushing yards and one touchdown as D’Onta Foreman chipped in with 381 rushing yards and four scores while DJ Moore led Chicago’s receiving corps with 1,003 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions – giving their defense plenty of tools to disrupt Detroit Lions offensive rhythm.
