The Bears are still looking for their first two-game winning streak under Matt Eberflus and will take another shot at it today at home against the Lions.
Here are the Bears’ inactives:
QB Nathan Peterman (emergency third quarterback)
WR Equanimeous St. Brown (pec)
WR Collin Johnson (practice squad)
OL Ja’Tyre Carter
DE Dominique Robinson
S Quindell Johnson
They were coming off a narrow win over the Panthers last time they faced the Lions, three weeks ago at Ford Field. The Bears took a 26-14 lead with about four minutes left, then squandered the game with mistakes on their way to a 31-26 loss.
The Lions lead the NFC North and are in line for the conference’s No. 3 seed in the playoffs at 9-3. They are two games ahead of the Vikings and Packers in the division and could officially eliminate the 4-8 Bears with a win.
Quarterback Jared Goff has been hot since his three-interception game against the Bears. Over the last two games, a loss to the Packers and a win over the Saints, he combined to complete 65.2% of his passes for 545 yards with four touchdown passes and no turnovers for a 108.7 passer rating.
