On the heels of a 37-13 victory over the Lions, the Bears have one four straight, but one Bears captain isn't surprised by the team's recent surge.
It's been brewing since the Monday night game last month. In fact, the kindling for this fire was sparked with Calvin Johnson's non-catch in the opener last year. The Bears and Lions don't like each other and Sunday it boiled over.
When opposing offenses game plan for the Chicago Bears pass rush, there is one variable they can never truly predict: Julius Peppers.
In the wake of the victory, Bears lineman Chris Williams was taken from the game with a hand injury, ultimately having emergency surgery during the second half. With rookie tackle Gabe Carimi also undergoing knee surgery earlier in the week, the Bears offensive line is at a point where it can't afford any more injuries moving forward.
Bears Coach Lovie Smith said Monday morning that the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford should have been ejected along with D.J. Moore during a rough play, but the real story is the Bears' strong playing that led to victory.
Sunday it was the Bears making the statement, bringing the Lions back down to Earth with a 37-13 pounding at Soldier Field.
And just like that, the Bears get a redemption win versus the Lions and now sit at 6-3. With winnable games ahead, it's not hard to imagine the Bears win as many as 11 or 12 games this year. Was it a truly great showing? Not by any means, as the offense had plenty of problems, but the Bears used their defense and special teams yet again under Lovie Smith to cruise to another division victory.
