The Detroit Lions’ game versus their division foe was not flawless. Nonetheless, a great football team’s capacity to struggle and claw its way to success is a telltale indication.
Detroit’s winning ways will continue if they correct their offensive errors. Even though the defense did not play its best, Aidan Hutchinson made the crucial play to help the team defeat the Chicago Bears.

“They had to rally to beat a so-so Bears team at home, which isn’t a good sign. But the fact they did it shows they are a truly a good team.”

“An inspiring comeback for the Lions, who continue to remain themselves during moments of adversity, while also riding the tailwind of a distinct coaching edge.
At the end of Sunday’s game against the Bears, when needing a game-winning touchdown, Detroit didn’t have to do, really, anything different.
Jared Goff was the most comfortable we’ve seen him all afternoon despite throwing three picks.”

“The Lions scored 17 points in the final 2:59 Sunday, and it’s that offense that makes them so dangerous.
They are second in the league in yards per game (399.6) and fifth in scoring (27.2) but only 17th in red-zone touchdown efficiency (52.9 percent) so there’s still room for growth. The Lions, who are 16-4 in their last 20, haven’t started a season this well since 1962

“The Lions didn’t look good with Jared Goff turnovers for most of the game vs. Chicago, also having more defensive breakdowns.
But credit them for digging deep late and making the plays needed to win, a sign of a strong, complete playoff team.”

“Jared Goff turned into a pumpkin against the Bears on Sunday, but the Detroit Lions battled for four quarters to overcome a multi-score deficit in the final 15 minutes to beat their division rivals.
Aidan Hutchinson sealed the game with a beautiful rush that resulted in a strip-sack of Justin Fields, who played relatively well in his first action back from his injury. Considering the issues Detroit had defending the Lamar Jackson-led Ravens, a big day from Fields shouldn’t have been surprising.”

The Lions are off to their best start since 1962, and sitting comfortably atop the NFC North standings in position to win their first division title since 1993.
Goff has been a major factor this season, as he has continued to revitalize his career under coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Goff has 2,743 passing yards through 10 games this season as well as 16 touchdowns to just eight interceptions. The next thing he has to prove is whether he can lead the team in the playoffs.
