From 2008-2012, the Bears were 1-9 against the Lions, losing by an average of 9.9 points per game. Since the 2013 season, Detroit is 9-1 against Chicago, its best record against any opponent in that span (minimum 3 games).

Detroit was held to nine points in its Week 9 loss to Minnesota, its first time being held under 10 since a 17-6 loss in Week 15 of 2016 against the Giants. The Lions have failed to reach 10 points just twice in the last four seasons, tied for sixth fewest in the league.

The Bears crushed the Bills, 41-9, in Buffalo in Week 9, winning by at least 30 points for the second time this season. The rest of the NFL has combined for nine such wins, with no other team having more than one. The largest margin of victory by Chicago between 2013 and 2017 was 26.

The Bears are scoring 29.4 points per game this season after averaging 16.5 last season. Their +12.9 increase is the largest in the NFL this season. Detroit has dropped from 25.6 to 22.5, the sixth-largest decrease in the league.

Matthew Stafford finished with fewer than 200 passing yards last week for only the 14th time in his career but also the second time in his last four games. That had happened just twice in his previous 47 games combined.

Jordan Howard had two rushing touchdowns in the win over Buffalo, as he reached 20 career rushing TDs in 39 games. That's the fastest a Bears player has reached 20 rushing touchdowns since Walter Payton did it in his 27th game in 1976.
