Williams started strong in Week 1, but he struggled in the second half. Next up are the Lions, who are 6.5-point favorites.
Storyline to watch: Bears head coach and former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson returns to Ford Field for the first time since taking over in Chicago. Johnson is highly aware of Detroit's passionate atmosphere and knows what's at stake with both teams looking for their first win of the season.
There were potential Chicago Bears problems noted during the long offseason and after only one week it seems many of them are fully realized.
If there’d been a constant amid all the growth in one of Chicago’s largest suburbs it was probably the horse racing track a little ways northwest of downtown, the one now locked away and waiting for new life. For decades, Arlington Park had been a deeply-ingrained part of the culture here, and a source of pride.
In their clearest signal yet that they plan to build a new stadium in Arlington Heights, the Bears sent season ticket holders a letter saying they hope to break ground soon so they can bid to host a Super Bowl as early as 2031.
