  • Detroit Lions win on Road in Chicago against Bears 16-7

Your ‘Lion Eyes’ blogger was thankfully wrong with the prediction that the Lions would get routed by the Bears. Laugh is on me as the Lions won for the 2nd time this season on the road. In the preview post I said I thought the only hope was for the Lions to get RB Kevin Jones running the ball effectively to open up the passing game. QB Jon Kitna ended up 268 yards passing and Jones had 105 yards rushing. Chicago did have many opportunities to score more than the 1 TD they ended up with but QB Brian Griese threw 4 interceptions. Three of the interceptions were in the Lions endzone. Detroit won the turnover battle 4-1 which of course usually means you win in the NFL.

Detroit is starting to get some mention by the ‘Experts’ that discuss NFL football on the Studio shows. This was a big win for the Lions to get them to 5-2 and at worse remain only 1 game behind the NFC North front running Green Bay Packers. And if the Denver Broncos can beat the Pack on Monday night the Lions will be tied for first. As Jon Kitna has been saying all season for the Lions to go where they want go the feel they have to go unbeaten at Ford Field. Next up is the Broncos next Sunday November 4th, 2007 @ 1:00 coming to Detroit. This win against the Bears will lose some of its value if the Lions don’t win against Denver. Go over to Chicago Bears to see what Winnie had to say about the big Lions win.

Feel free to check back tomorrow when I post the complete game recap and show the NFL game stats.
