Detroit Lions Roar Back with Explosive 52-21 Victory Over Chicago Bears

Detroit, MI – The Detroit Lions delivered a resounding statement in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, scoring over 50 points in a dominant 52-21 win against the Chicago Bears at Ford Field on Sunday.

After a shaky start to their season, the Lions’ offense found its rhythm, led by quarterback Jared Goff’s efficient and dynamic performance. Goff showcased sharp accuracy, completing 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards and five touchdowns, without throwing an interception, achieving an impressive passer rating of 156.0. This marked a significant bounce-back game for the Detroit offense, which had struggled in Week 1.

The Lions jumped out early with a commanding 14-point first quarter and extended their lead to 28-14 by halftime. The Bears’ defense was unable to contain Detroit’s high-octane passing game, which featured standout performances from key receivers including Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, both pivotal in stretching the field and finding the end zone.

Detroit’s ground game complemented the passing attack, contributing to a balanced offensive approach that kept the Bears off-balance throughout the game. The Lions continued their offensive surge in the second half, putting up 10 points in the third quarter and another 14 in the fourth, solidifying their dominance on both sides of the ball.

Defensively, the Lions applied consistent pressure, racking up multiple sacks and forcing turnovers that stifled Chicago’s attempts to mount a comeback. Linebackers Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes led by example, making key tackles and disrupting the Bears’ offensive flow. The defense’s ability to contain the Bears’ quarterbacks further contributed to Detroit’s commanding win.

The Bears struggled to respond, managing only 21 points scored mostly in the first half, as Detroit’s defense tightened in the final quarters. Chicago’s passing attack was limited to 205 yards, and their rushing attack failed to gain enough momentum to challenge the Lions’ front seven.

Following the game, key Lions players shared reactions highlighting the team’s focus on improving from last week and executing their game plan effectively. Detroit’s confident offensive display and cohesive defensive play offer fans reason for optimism as the season progresses.

The Lions now hold a 1-1 record on the season and will look to build on this impressive home victory momentum in the upcoming weeks.
