Overview
- Jared Goff went 23-of-28 for 334 yards and five touchdowns as Amon‑Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 115 yards and three scores in Detroit’s 511-yard outburst.
- Chicago committed eight penalties, lost two first-half turnovers, and allowed four sacks, marking its first 50-point defensive concession since 2014.
- Bears injuries mounted with Kyler Gordon inactive and starters T.J. Edwards and Jaylon Johnson exiting, compounding early-season discipline and execution issues.
- Fans at Ford Field chanted an expletive at former Lions coordinator and current Bears coach Ben Johnson, a response Goff said he disliked given Johnson’s past contributions.
- Johnson rejected the notion Detroit ran up the score on a late fourth-and-goal touchdown, saying of Dan Campbell’s choice, “That’s what he does,” as Lions players later described feeling “betrayed” by his move to a division rival.
