Bears vs Lions: Inside the snap counts, stats, and more

There were only a handful of positive things that came out of that pitiful 41 to 10 Chicago Bears' loss, and they all came early on in the contest. The Detroit Lions walloped the Bears with 31 unanswered points after Chicago led 10 to 7 after the first quarter,

The Lions dominated in every aspect of the game with a 35:43 to 24:17 edge in time of possession, a 504 to 230 yardage advantage, a 26 to 9 first down edge, and they were better on third downs 33.3% to 23.1%. The Lions also won the turnover battle 2 to 0 and had fewer penalties (2 for 16 yards to 7 for 45 from Chicago).

The 504 yards the Bears gave up were the most they've allowed since 2018, when the Dolphins racked up 541 in a 31 to 28 overtime loss.

Now let's take a closer look at the playing time breakdowns for the Bears and also some individual stats.
