How to watch Lions vs. Bears on TV, online streaming, radio information, and more.
It’s crunch time for the Detroit Lions . Adversity has hit the team in the form of injuries and a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills last week. Detroit lost three critical players to their success last week—running back David Montgomery, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, and cornerback Carlton Davis. That’s a tough blow for a team that came into the game with several key contributors already out of the game, but the team built out their depth for exactly this reason.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears are in disarray. They’ve already fired their offensive coordinator and head coach this year, and they’re in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. They’ve still got dangerous pieces on both sides of the ball, but it’s clear coaching has not helped elevate this team. The defense has fallen apart since Matt Eberflus was fired, and the offense never took off like it was supposed to.
But the last time these two teams met, it was a nailbiter for the Lions. Detroit got out to a big early lead, but the Bears offense clawed back and were a botched one-minute drill away from taking that game to overtime, at the least.
So could Chicago pull off the upset in the comfort of their own home? Here’s how you can catch Lions vs. Bears in Week 16.
