Before the start of the season, the Bears had won seven of their previous ten games against the Lions. They had also won each of their previous four games played at Ford Field. However, their victories were almost never decided by more than a touchdown, and the margin of victory in each of their most recent five games was either four points or less, when the game’s final play was completed. (Remember to also check the NFL Week 17 injury report!)
