Lions running back David Montgomery celebrates against the Saints.Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images Three keys for the Bears to win Sunday’s game against the Lions at Soldier Field:1. Take the ball away — again. The Bears are the second team all season to force four turnovers in each of their past two games. If they do it for at third-straight time, they’ll become the third team in 15 years to pull off such a feat.It’s foolish to presume the Bears can take the ball away four times Sunday at Soldier Field, but even getting two of them would be the edge they need against a Lions offense that is far more explosive than that of the Bears.2. Make Justin Fields more productive. The Bears had their quarterback throw 13 screens against the blitz-happy Vikings, giving him career lows of 2.4 air yards per pass and 1.9 air yards per completion. That likely won’t happen again. The Bears need to let Fields throw down the field against a Lions defense that since Week 7 has been the third-worst in football.3. Give David Montgomery a rude homecoming. The former Bears running back, who signed with the Lions this offseason, ran 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 22 yards in their first meeting last month. In Montgomery’s first game back at Soldier Field as a member of the Lions, the Bears need to contain him. The Bears allow 3.4 yards per carry, the second-lowest mark in the NFL.

When the Lions selected Aidan Hutchinson with the second overall pick, there were high expectations for him from the start. As a rookie, he didn’t let anyone down. During his first season in the NFL, he had 52 tackles, 9.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss and three interceptions.

Jones was a healthy scratch three times in the first 12 games.Getty The Bears are still looking for their first two-game winning streak under Matt Eberflus and will take another shot at it today at home against the Lions.Here are the Bears’ inactives:QB Nathan Peterman (emergency third quarterback)WR Equanimeous St. Brown (pec)WR Collin Johnson (practice squad)OL Ja’Tyre CarterDE Dominique RobinsonS Quindell JohnsonThey were coming off a narrow win over the Panthers last time they faced the Lions, three weeks ago at Ford Field. The Bears took a 26-14 lead with about four minutes left, then squandered the game with mistakes on their way to a 31-26 loss.The Lions lead the NFC North and are in line for the conference’s No. 3 seed in the playoffs at 9-3. They are two games ahead of the Vikings and Packers in the division and could officially eliminate the 4-8 Bears with a win.Quarterback Jared Goff has been hot since his three-interception game against the Bears. Over the last two games, a loss to the Packers and a win over the Saints, he combined to complete 65.2% of his passes for 545 yards with four touchdown passes and no turnovers for a 108.7 passer rating.

Midway through the second quarter of the Week 14 game in Chicago, Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta hauled in a 13-yard reception. That catch pushed LaPorta over the 700-yard mark for the season and it also pushed the Lions into the NFL record book.
LaPorta and RB Jahmyr Gibbs became the first rookie tandem from those positions in NFL history to each gain 700 yards in a season. Gibbs also eclipsed the 700-yard mark earlier in the game with a 36-yard run.
Impressively, the dynamic Detroit duo pulled it off with over four games left to play

When linebacker Alex Anzalone went down with a thumb injury two weeks ago, there were a lot of questions surrounding the player that was going to step up in his place. Some had thought it was going to be Derrick Barnes and others thought it was Jack Campbell. When Jack Campbell’s name was brought up, there was some hesitation with some fans.
He was a rookie that was playing with hesitation and was missing tackles in previous games. But most importantly, he had big shoes to fill. Trying to replace Anzalone is tough to do in this Lions defense. He’s an experienced player that comes from this defensive system during his days with the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile, Anzalone leads the Lions with 87 tackles this season

The Bears will have their full complement of pass rushers when they take on the Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday. Yannick Ngakoue is active despite the knee injury that kept him limited for Thursday’s practice.Here’s the full list of Bears inactives for their Week 14 game:It’s worth noting that both Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones Jr. (illness) are active, since each man was considered questionable to play. That means the Bears will have both of their top-two kick returners ready to roll, and will have their typical depth at the back end of the wide receivers group. Equanimeous St. Brown is inactive and was ruled out on Friday with a pectoral injury. He’s considered week-to-week. The team called up Collin Johnson from the practice squad in case Scott or Jones Jr. couldn’t play, but since they’re each good to go, the team made Johnson inactive.Other inactives include guard Ja’Tyre Carter, defensive back Quindell Johnson, defensive end Dominique Robinson and quarterback Nathan Peterman. All of them are depth players buried at the back of their respective position groups.Click here to follow the Under Center Podcast.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.
