After starting this season with a painful loss against our divisional rivals, the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions <\/a>are looking for a much-needed win this week. But it won’t be easy.<\/p>\n

The Lions played a very weak game against the Packers last Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 The playcalling was passive, and the players seemed to lack passion. The coaches and players will have to ramp things up this Sunday as they face off with a strong, young QB in Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, there’s that Ben Johnson guy we used to love.\u00a0 The Lions’ former Offensive Coordinator, behind all the trick plays and daring fourth-down calls, is now the Chicago Bears’ <\/a>head coach.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears led nearly the entire game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football last week, only to allow 3 unanswered touchdowns in the 4th quarter to lose that game 27-24.\u00a0 Which means both the Bears and the Lions come into this game looking for their first win of the season.\u00a0 What is this? 2019?<\/p>\n
