Detroit hosts Chicago in a pivotal NFC North clash, aiming to reboot an offense that sputtered in Week 1. Jared Goff targets Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams for big plays, but the Lions must reestablish a ground game to balance the attack. Chicago counters with a defensive backbone led by Jaylon Johnson, while Kyler Gordon’s health status could tilt matchups. Special-teams and coaching chess will matter in a tight, late-season tilt at Ford Field.

Edge could hinge on Lions’ ability to protect and execute late portions of the game, while Bears’ defense seeks to slow Detroit’s playmakers and force mistakes. If Detroit can string together drives and win at the line of scrimmage, they’ll push for a second win; if Chicago disrupts the rhythm, the Bears can steal momentum and shape the NFC North early standings.
