- Calvin Johnson went over 1,000 yards receiving on Sunday. This is the fifth year in a row he's done that, which is a Detroit Lions record. Also, the Lions now have two 1,000-yard receivers for the first time since 2006 with Golden Tate hitting that mark earlier in the season.
- Glover Quin now leads the NFL in interceptions (7) after recording another pick on Sunday. Actually, he has now intercepted a pass in four consecutive games.
- Where was Joique Bell in the first quarter of Sunday's game? He was benched for violating a team rule. It's unclear what Bell did, but for whatever it's worth, Brandon Pettigrew received the same punishment a couple of weeks ago for missing a team meeting.
- Ndamukong Suh is a beast.
- Suh had a great quote after Sunday's game about the Lions' slow starts:
Ndamukong Suh on Lions' slow start: "We need to come out like Tyson and start swinging."

- The Lions really have a thing for comeback victories.
Lions have 5 fourth-quarter comeback wins this season, most in the NFL

- If Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman is indeed fired after the season, he will finish with a 0-4 record against the Lions over the last two seasons. I really hope they keep him, because I like seeing stats like this:
With a win today, the @Lions 4-game win streak over the Bears is the longest since 1971-73 when the team won 5 straight vs. Chicago.

- Former Lion Willie Young suffered a serious injury during Sunday's game.
Preliminary diagnosis for Bears DE Willie Young is torn Achilles tendon, per source; MRI coming Monday.
