LAKE FOREST Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , Ill. (AP) — the Detroit Lions and pick up a victory over an NFC North opponent.As accomplishments go, those seem rather modest. Then again, consider their recent history.The division-leading Bears have a chance to check off two more boxes when they host the struggling Lions on Sunday.They have lost nine of the past 10 games against Detroit and have dropped 10 in a row to division opponents heading into their matchup at Soldier Field.Since the start of the 2014 season, Chicago is 4-21 against the NFC North. But these Bears aren’t those Bears.Chicago (5-3) hit the halfway mark with its best record in five years and sole possession of the NFC North lead for the first time since 2013. It’s a big change for a franchise with four straight last-place finishes. But the Bears have already matched their win total from last year and are making a push for their first playoff appearance since the 2010 team advanced to the NFC championship game.“There’s just so much ball left,” said coach Matt Nagy, in his first season. “For our team, we’ve won in different ways and we’ve lost in different ways. I think we’ve kind of learned different ways to do it. And when you lose, you try to figure out why and how to not let it happen again. When you win, you figure out why and how you can always improve and be better. I like where we’re at, but we understand we have a ways to go.”Chicago is coming off back-to-back wins over two struggling teams, with a 41-9 blowout at Buffalo after beating the New York Jets at home.Detroit (3-5) has dropped two in a row and last week’s 24-9 loss at Minnesota was particularly ugly. Matthew Stafford got sacked 10 times Josh Bellamy Jersey , and the Lions were held to single digits in points for the first time since a 17-6 loss to the New York Giants on Dec. 18, 2016.They also traded wide receiver Golden Tate to Philadelphia prior to the Vikings game, and they fired special teams coordinator Joe Marciano on Monday night.“Definitely have to learn from some of those things that we’ve done in the past that haven’t been up to par or haven’t been good enough, and try to minimize those or eliminate them as we go forward,” coach Matt Patricia said. “That’s the most important thing.”Here are some things to know about the matchup:ON THE MENDThe Bears might get star outside linebacker Khalil Mack (ankle) and top receiver Allen Robinson (groin) back from injuries.Both players missed the past two games. But they went through full practices on Wednesday. Tight end Adam Shaheen might also return from a foot injury he suffered in the preseason.ANSAH BACKThe Lions got a boost last week with the return of defensive end Ziggy Ansah.He had a sack in the second quarter that forced the Vikings to settle for a field goal, after missing six games because of a shoulder injury. Having Ansah back means more pressure on the quarterback and maybe better luck stopping the run. The Lions rank 30th in that area.“We’ve just got to set an edge and whoever has got a gap to be in, they’ve just got to be in there,” Ansah said. “Just play fundamental and be able to execute.”FAMILIAR FOESThe Bears are about to meet the Lions twice in a 12-day span, with a Thanksgiving matchup at Ford Field and a primetime Sunday game against Minnesota at home in between.This three-game run facing the NFC North comes after four in row against the AFC East. Chicago hasn’t played a division team since a 24-23 season-opening loss at Green Bay, when it blew a 20-point lead against an injured Aaron Rodgers.STRUGGLING STAFFORDAfter a solid stretch, Stafford has struggled a bit the past two weeks with 13 sacks and a 90.3 rating. He had ratings above 100 in each of the previous five games.“He’s been with the Lions for all of his career and he has a great group of receivers http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , and for some reason they’re not putting games together,” Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara said. “But they’re still a great team and I know for a fact we won’t take them lightly.”GETTING OFFENSIVEWhile a defense that ranks fifth overall has gotten much of the credit, the Bears insist their offense is doing its part.Though Trubisky has been wild at times, his rating (96.1) is similar to Stafford’s (96.5). Chicago also ranks fifth in the NFL in scoring. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees delivered accurate, aggressive throws downfield in tense moments, when conventional wisdom might have called for a more conservative play.New Orleans’ defense came up with a fourth-down stop and rookie Marshon Lattimore’s interception on its final two series.Kicker Wil Lutz hit from 45 and 49 yards in the second half, hitting the longer kick inside the final two minutes.Frequent clutch performances in all phases allowed the surging Saints to once again overcome some potentially disastrous mistakes and win their fifth straight, 20-12 over the feisty Chicago Bears on Sunday.“This was encouraging because I think in the past there’s been very little room for error,” said Brees, who completed 23 of 28 passes for 299 yards without an interception against a Bears defense that ranked sixth against the pass. “While it’s frustrating that I don’t feel like we’re playing our best football — really, anywhere near our best football — we’re still finding ways to win.”Running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara each ran for touchdowns for New Orleans (5-2). Ingram finished with 99 yards from scrimmage Womens Sherrick McManis Jersey , including 75 on the ground, but his two late fumbles kept the Bears (3-5) in the game into the final minutes.“I was terrible. I let my teammates down, put us in a bad position,” Ingram said. “The game was only close because I sucked.”Kamara had 76 yards from scrimmage — 48 receiving, including his 34-yard, back-shoulder catch along the sideline in the fourth quarter.The Saints were threatening to score both times the Bears stripped the ball from Ingram.“We found a way to make it interesting,” Payton said. “To turn the ball over like we did, you don’t deserve to win games like that.”Chicago converted the first fumble into its only touchdown with 3:43 left on Tarik Cohen’s short dive over a pile of players at the goal line. The second turnover occurred with a little more than two minutes left on the Bears 30, but Chicago was unable to get a first down as rookie Mitchell Trubisky’s fourth-and-1 pass fell incomplete.Bears coach John Fox said he considered running the ball, which is his team’s strength, but stopped short of expressing regret over his decision.“It was like flipping a coin Charles Leno Jersey ,” Fox said. “It was 50-50.”Chicago had one more chance to tie after Lutz’s field goal with 1:35 left, but Lattimore’s interception ended that threat.“It’s hard to predict a rookie’s growth. But he has got exceptional ball skills and a lot of confidence,” Payton said of Lattimore.Trubisky completed 14 of 32 passes for 164 yards in his fourth start. Chicago’s Jordan Howard had 102 yards rushing on 23 carries.“We’re getting closer as an offense. Nobody has their heads down,” Trubisky said. “I’m really excited for where this team is headed.”MISSED CHANCESIn the third quarter, Chicago had a TD overturned on video review after Zach Miller’s 25-yard catch, during which the tight end’s left leg bent unnaturally as he landed. As Miller was carted off the field with what Fox said was a dislocated knee, officials ruled that replay showed the ground caused the ball to loosen in Miller’s grasp as his upper body crashed to the turf.On the game’s opening possession, Chicago’s defense was offside on a field goal attempt, putting New Orleans’ offense back on the field. The result was Kamara’s 8-yard touchdown run.Later, Trubisky took a third-down sack by end Trey Hendrickson in Saints territory. That pushed back Connor Barth’s field goal attempt to 48 yards, and he hooked it.TAKING SHOTSBrees’ longest completion was a 53-yard heave to receiver Ted Ginn between two defenders late in the fourth quarter http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-joel-iyiegbuniwe-jersey , flipping field position before Ingram’s second fumble. Brees also connected with Michael Thomas seven times for 77 yards.“We were able to hit them a time or two,” said Brees, who became the NFL’s fastest to 6,000 completions, reaching the milestone in his 240th game. “We were also making some big plays down the field. … We’re going to call (downfield passes), and if they’re there, we’ll take the shots.”INJURIESFox said Miller was taken from the game to hospital to have his knee injury treated.“He’ll be in our thoughts and prayers on our flight home,” Fox said.Injuries also struck two Bears offensive linemen. Right guard Kyle Long left the game with a hand injury in the first quarter and center Cody Whitehair left later with an elbow injury.UP NEXTBears: Chicago gets its bye week before hosting Green Bay on Nov. 12.Saints: Stay in New Orleans to play their second NFC South Division opponent this season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
