Lions-Bears first half open thread

It’s Thursday Night Football but on Saturday afternoon instead! Get it?

Yeah, me neither.

But the Detroit Lions are playing and that’s all that really matter. At 7-6, their desperately holding onto some playoff chances. A loss on Saturday and they can kiss those goodbye.

In their way are the Chicago Bears, a team coming off a decisive win over the Bengals, but remain a disappointing 4-9 on the season.

The last time the two teams met, the Lions escaped Soldier Field with a 27-24 victory thanks, in part, to a last-second missed field goal from Connor Barth.

The Lions have absolutely everything to play for, while the Bears—presumably with a lame duck coaching staff—has nothing. That hasn’t stopped the Bears from playing spoiler in the past, and given how competitive theses games have been in the past, I would expect another close game on Saturday.
