The Lions had the upper hand as they faced former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for the first time since he left to become the head coach of the Bears. After much chatter that quarterback Jared Goff and the Lions offense weren't the same without Johnson in their Week 1 loss to the Packers, the Lions wrecked that narrative by putting up 52 points in a dominant win over Johnson and the Bears.
Goff threw five touchdown passes—Amon-Ra St. Brown caught three of them—and the Lions offense rolled to 511 yards while averaging a franchise record 8.8 yards per play.
