Lions and Bears Set for Rematch in Windy City

The surprising Lions take their 4-and-2 record into Soldier Field Sunday to battle the division-rival Chicago Bears.  The Lions are coming off a 23-16 home victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Rookie receiver Calvin Johnson ran 32 yards for what proved to be the deciding touchdown in the fourth quarter as Detroit built a 23-7 lead and hung on to remain undefeated at home.  The Bears, meanwhile, used a 97-yard drive in the final two minutes to score a 19-16 road win at Philadelphia.  Brian Griese capped the drive with a 15-yard TD pass to Muhsin Muhammad with nine seconds left as the defending NFC champs improved to 3-and-4.  The Lions beat the Bears at home 37-27 in Week Four when Griese first took over as the starter for quarterback Rex Grossman, but Detroit hasn’t won at Chicago since 2004.
