The Chicago Bears host their NFC North rival in the Detroit Lions in Week 4. Here are all the highlights, the game recap, and the final score of the game.

The Chicago Bears will host their NFC North rival in the Detroit Lions for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff at Soldier Field on Sunday, October 2nd in Week 4. FOX will have the telecast of this NFC North rivalry game.

Detroit is probably the best 1-2 team in football. Though the Lions have dropped their last two games to the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers, they were only by a combined eight points. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is playing his best ball of his eight-year NFL career under offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.

Chicago is one of four winless teams in the NFL entering Week 4. Of those four, people think that the Bears might actually be the worst team in football. Chicago isn’t really good at anything on the gridiron in 2016.

This is a must-win game for head coach John Fox. An 0-4 start means he will have lost the locker room. He’s on the hot seat.

Three Stars

  1. Matthew Stafford: Stafford has become the star quarterback we all knew he could be coming out of Georgia. He is thriving in Cooter’s Lions offense. Stafford will complete 65% of his passes for 300 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
  2. Marvin Jones: Jones will be Stafford’s favorite target in the Lions receiving corps. He’ll have seven catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns.
  3. Jeremy Langford: The Bears offense isn’t very good, but Langford should have a decent day in the Chicago backfield. He’ll have 13 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown.
