Early on the Bears put a quick touchdown on the board and it looked like they might have a big offensive game. Come to find out that was the only touchdown the team scored and once again they had to rely on the defense.
Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions could not muster up anything against the Bears stingy defense. The Lions turned the ball over three times in the red zone and had four turnovers overall.
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was limited in the second half by a rib injury after taking a big hit. He managed to finish the game but had only 150-yards through the air. Brandon Marshall had six receptions for 81-yards and a touchdown. Matt Forte chipped in with 96-yards on 22 carries.
The Bears still sit alone atop the NFC North and have now won four games in a row. They will face the Carolina Panthers (1-5) at home next week.
