The Lions have looked like a Super Bowl contender for most of this season and their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears was no different. It is usually the Lions offense that is doing the heavy lifting, but against the Bears, it was their stout defense that led the way in the first half.
Bears Fans Disgusted With Caleb Williams During Lions Game
Detroit held Bears top draft pick, Caleb Williams to just 13 passing yards in the first half and a 45.8 quarterback rating. With the Bears already entering their Thanksgiving Day matchup on a five-game losing streak, fans were disgusted with Williams' performance in the first half.
"Caleb Williams might end up being a franchise QB, and I know the Bears are a mess, but he is incredibly inaccurate and looks more and more like a bust every day," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Caleb Williams has 13 yrds bro ... and swift has 9 ... the game almost over TF YALL DOINN," another dan added.
Ben Johnson Expected to be Coveted During Coaching Cycle
The Lions have been among the best teams in the NFL this season. But their offense has been particularly dominant. They have scored 40 or more points in three of their last five games and have scored at least 20 points in 10 of their 11 games.
Because of their dominance this season, Lions offense coordinator, Ben Johnson, is expected to be among the top targets in this year's coaching cycle.
"Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is widely considered around the league to be a top coaching prospect again this cycle. He has coordinated an offense that has been top five in points and yards each of the last three seasons, and currently the Lions have the highest-scoring offense in all of football," CBS Sports writes.
Johnson has interviewed the last two years — including six interviews last year — but decided both times to return to Detroit. He could do the same this winter, as well, as sources have indicated Johnson won't just jump at any offer. He plans to be selective if he makes a jump, valuing organizational stability over a paycheck.
