(WXYZ) - The Detroit Lions are ready for a showdown in Chi-Town against the 4 - 1 Bears.

The Lions are 2 and 3 on the year and 1 and 2 on the road. They're also sitting at the bottom of the NFC North, while "Da Bears" are looking to continue their dominance atop the North.

Both teams come in to tonight's game following victories. The Bears have won three in a row, while the Lions are looking to piece together their first winning streak of the season after beating the Philadelphia Eagles on the road and in overtime last week.
