Bears Focused for Lions Despite Record

After beating the winless Detroit Lions 34-7 during week five, the Chicago Bears may be tempted to write of the NFC North rivals when they face them this Sunday, but the Bears know better than to do that.  The Lions are desperately looking for the win, and the Bears must be on top of their game to make sure they don’t get it this Sunday. Mike Brown said, “They’ve been in pretty much every game. There’s been a couple of them where they weren’t in them, but everyone understands that this is a professional football league and honestly any team can beat any team on any given day. That’s just part of how the league is set up, so we’re going to be prepared to play them and we want to come out with a victory.”

Brown should know a thing or two about underestimating the Lions. In 2001, the 8-2 Bears took on the 0-10 Lions at home.  While they won, they had to come back in the fourth quarter to grab a narrow 13-10 victory. With the Lions losing by small margins to good teams this season, the Bears are on the right track not to write them off just yet. Get your Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.com.
