TOP STORYLINE
Coming off their most complete game of the season, the Bears (4-9) will look to win their second straight Saturday against the Lions (7-6), who need a victory to remain in playoff contention. The Bears (4-9) dominated the Bengals on both sides of the ball last Sunday in Cincinnati, holding decisive advantages in total yards (482-234), first downs (29-14) and time of possession (38:09-21:51) in a 33-7 win that was their most lopsided victory since a 51-20 drubbing of the Jaguars in 2012.

HISTORY LESSON
The Bears lead the all-time series with the Lions 97-73-5 but have lost eight of the last nine. The Bears lost the last meeting 27-24 on Nov. 19 at Soldier Field. After Matt Prater's 52-yard field goal had given Detroit a 27-24 lead with 1:35 remaining, rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky put the Bears in position to tie the game with a nifty 19-yard scramble on fourth-and-13 followed by a 15-yard completion to Dontrelle Inman. But Connor Barth missed a 46-yard field goal attempt that could have forced overtime with :03 to play.

NUMBERS GAME
Entering Week 15 the Bears rank 30th in offense (7th rushing and 32nd passing) and 11th in defense (14th against the run and 9th versus the pass). The Lions rank 14th in offense (32nd rushing and 4th passing) and 27th in defense (20th against the run and 27th versus the pass).
