Detroit and Chicago are both riding high this week after wins last week. Chicago pulled off an impossible win against the Eagles with a 97 yard drive in the remaining 2 minutes of the game. The Lions won over Tampa with a team effort on defense and offense.
The Lions are doing well on offense, Chicago is lousy on both sides of the ball.
But they pulled together against the Eagles. Can the Lions stop them??????????

Lions pull off the season sweep, beating the Bears 16-7. According to the Associated Press, "Kevin Jones ran for 105 yards and a touchdown, and the Lions again showed they're serious contenders... Detroit is 5-2 for the first time since 2000 and making a strong bid for its first playoff appearance since 1999. The Lions have endured six straight seasons with at least 10 losses and won just three games last year, coach Rod Marinelli's first. But things are different now."

They're 5-2 with two wins over the defending NFC Champs. I'd have to say, yes, they're for real.

They better show up soon, or they're accidentally going to wind up in the playoffs.
