The Lions played the Bears on Monday night football. It's been almost a decade since the Lions have played on Monday night football. Bears QB Jay Cutler was hit on almost every play. Not one time did Cutler get to set his feet to make a throw down field. He still managed to put up decent passing yards throwing for 260 yards and a touchdown as Cutler showed great foot work all through the game. Matt Forte ran for over a 100 yards again this week after running for over 200 yards last week. The Lions defensive line handled the Bears offensive line like they were a high school team. Suh let his presents be felt all game long and the Bears had no answer for him. At half time I expected the Bears to make adjustments, having a running back chip the defensive ends, or bringing in a tight end are two to help the Bears offensive line. Not one time did the Bears try anything to help protect Jay Cutler during the game. But you have to give the Lions credit. They played great on both sides of the ball on Monday night football. On one of the biggest stages in football they brought there A game. It's been since 1971 the last time the Lions had a pro bowl quarterback and since 1956 the last time they started 5-0. Well it's 2011 and the Lions are 5-0 to start the season and Stafford is having a tremendous year so far. He has a ways to go to make the pro bowl this year but has began the season with a great start. Matthew Stafford finished the game 19/26 with 219 yards 2 touchdowns and 1 int. Lions running back Jahvid Best had a career high 12 carries for a 163 yards rushing and a touchdown. Calvin Johnson a.k.a Megatron lead all receivers with 5 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown.
Everyone keeps waiting for the Detroit Lions to lose. They just keep finding ways to win.
