CHICAGO, Ill. — The Detroit Lions got back on track after last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, taking care of business in a stifling win over the Chicago Bears.
MLive’s Dungeon of Doom podcast was in the house for Detroit’s 34-17 win over the Bears. Hosts Ben Raven and Kory Woods discuss the tweaks to the lineup, Jahmyr Gibbs’ impressive showing as the lone primary back and what they liked about the defensive showing albeit a couple of bumps in the road.
The Lions are 13-2, setting a new franchise record for wins in a season, with two games left to go. On top of that, they also broke the 2011 team’s record of 274 points during the win, another impressive milestone at this point of the season.

“I was proud of our guys for bouncing back. I knew they would. Right mindset,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said. “Look, it takes a special group of guys to emotionally, physically, psychologically bounce back after a tough loss, especially when you haven’t lost in a while, go out, win on the road again. I told the guys that I did know that was a team record, franchise record. 13 wins has never been done, and I told them one day we’ll be able to look back and enjoy that, but not yet. It’s not the time.
“We got our work cut out for us next week, San Francisco on the road, very good team. But as far as today we did what we had to do. Got two takeaways, turned those into 10 points. Got up on them early and really was able to control the game. I thought we played that game the right way. I thought we played it the right way. It was a good job.”
