The Chicago Bears (4-10) will battle the Detroit Lions (12-2) in Week 16, where the Bears are looking to snap an eight-game losing streak after the bye week.

The Bears are coming off a 30-12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, which marked the second straight loss since Thomas Brown took over as interim head coach. The offense once again struggled, stalling twice in scoring position, and not scoring a touchdown until the fourth quarter. Caleb Williams also took a beating. While the defense was able to get pressure on Sam Darnold, they struggled to stop the run and were eventually overpowered.

Bears vs. Lions predictions

The last time these two teams met three weeks ago, the Lions dominated in the first half before the Bears nearly mounted a second-half comeback that was spoiled by poor clock mismanagement in the closing seconds. Since then, Chicago has averaged just 12.5 points per game. On defense, the Bears have allowed an average 34 points per game in the same span. While Detroit has been ravaged by injuries on offense and defense, this is a game where they should best a stumbling Chicago squad already looking to the offseason. But for the sake of division rivalries, this could be another close one if Caleb Williams manages to work his magic. Lions 28, Bears 20
