Although this can safely be assumed, we must look at a few things.

This is the Lions fourth game against a team with a top 10 run defense. First game against a team in the top 3. Those games were:

W vs. Chiefs [#10 RSH DEF] - KC allowed 118 rushing yards (74 yds and 1TD to Monty)

W vs. Bucs [#7] - TB allowed 40 rushing yards (14 yds to Monty)

W vs. Chargers [#9] - LA allowed 200 rushing yards (116 yds and 1TD to Monty)

The Bears currently hold the second best defense against the run, allowing 3.2 YPC on average, and I think we will stuff the Lions run game and Monty.

That being said, Monty will still probably get a TD, Lions win, with Goff murdering us through the air. But ay 🤷‍♂️

    Who cares. They’re a good team, we’re not. Good players tend to play well on good teams. Monty is not a world beater, but he’s a good player on a good team. Herbert and Foreman would probably run wild on us too on a good team. Hell, they do pretty well on the Bears, and we suck overall.

      I know it’s easy to say, Bears are terrible at everything but anyone who can’t admit that this defense isn’t doing good things isn’t watching the games. They’re on the right track.

      I did a quick look up and from a statistical perspective they’re on par with the Eagles…
