Game Thread: Lions at Soldier Field

[tshirt]

The Lions are currently in a three-way tie atop the NFC North standings with the Packers and the Bears

Detroit has not won a division championship since 1993, but has a chance to take control of first place in Week 10.

Jay Cutler will start for the Bears this weekend, but whether he is 100 percent remains to be seen. Cutler may need to be at his best to keep pace with the Lions. If the Bears can pull out the win, they too may be able to take control of the NFC North, depending on what happens to the Packers against the Eagles.

Chicago needs to replace Cutler ASAP. The dude wasn't even close to 60% coming into this game, and that percentage keeps dropping all the time.

The Seahawks, Saints and Niners have been tabbed as NFC darlings, yet the Lions have discreetly inserted themselves into this conversation, as two of their three losses have come by four points or less. Matthew Stafford is averaging a career-best 327.1 yards per game, and for the first time in his five years in Motown, has a viable backfield in Reggie Bush and Joique Bell ...
As long as Ndamukong Suh avoids suplexing himself into a suspension, this roster has more than enough firepower to make noise in January.
