Time is running out for the Chicago Bears in 2022 as they try to end multiple losing streaks. This week they face the Detroit Lions.

Before the 2022 season began, many NFL experts predicted that the Chicago Bears would only win two or three games. The Bears wanted to prove them wrong, however. After the first three games, it looked as if they might do just that.

After a win against the Houston Texans in Week 3, the Bears had a 2-1 record. They also had a huge upset over Super Bowl contenders San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. It seemed like head coach Matt Eberflus had a surprise for the experts. the team looked different and played harder.

Then things fell apart. since Week 3 they have lost 11 of their next 12 games, including eight in a row. Additionally, they have yet to win a game in their division, the NFC North. They are 0-4 and have lost seven straight divisional games.

Time is running out for the Bears this season for them to end these losing streaks. They have two more opportunities to finally get a win. This week, they get a shot at the Detroit Lions.

The Lions earned a comeback victory over the Bears in Week 10. The Bears dominated for most of the game before they fell apart in the fourth quarter. The Lions outscored the Bears 21-6 and won 31-30.

The Lions have had a surprising season. They are 7-8 for the season. The victories are nearly as many as Detroit won in the previous two seasons combined (8). They also have a high-powered offense, ranking 5th in the league in scoring. They are on a nice roll, winning six of their last eight games.

Of course, the Lions are still trying to learn to win games. They lost to the Carolina Panthers last week in a game they should have won. That inconsistency is something the Bears could take advantage of and pull off another big upset.

Let’s take a look at what to look for in the game:
