Lions Loss Hints Changes To Bears Defense May Go Deeper Than Expected

The Chicago Bears defense didn’t bring their best on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. They very much looked like a unit that lacked urgency for most of the game, knowing they were already in the playoffs and didn’t have much to play for. It was true across the roster. Sure, the #2 seed is valuable, but some may have felt the risk of injury wasn’t worth it. Whatever the case, the Lions built a big early lead and managed to do just enough after surrendering it to escape Soldier Field with the 19-16 win.
