Best start in history: Thursday's win means the Lions have started the year 11-1, their best start to a season in franchise history, and have won 10 straight games, tying the franchise single-season winning streak set in 1934. They stay atop the NFC and NFC North with their third win in three tries against the division.
Interference call: Lions cornerback Kindle Vildor was flagged for pass interference on a 4th & 14 play with under one minute to go on a pass that wasn't close to the receiver and was a Hail Mary type attempt by Bears quarterback Caleb Williams scrambling away from a defender. Lions fans weren't happy with the call.
"Yeah, I didn't have a problem with the coverage," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said after the game. "That's probably the best way to say it. I thought those guys were competing for the ball, and I liked his coverage there."
Field position optimization specialist: Punter Jack Fox is amazing. How big was his 61-yard punt late in the fourth quarter that pinned the Bears at their own 1-yard line to start their final drive. Fox punted twice Thursday with a 50.0 yard net and both inside the Bears' 20-yard line.
Pass defense: Detroit's secondary was without veteran cornerback Carlton Davis III vs. the Bears and used a three-man rotation at the outside cornerback spot at times and found a way to get the job done. Williams did a terrific job leading Chicago back into the game with three second-half touchdown passes, but he completed just 20-of-39 pass attempts in the contest. Detroit's secondary has now held opponents under a 60 percent completion percentage for the sixth straight game, their longest single-season streak since 2000.
Sewell's athleticism: It's not often we see a starting right tackle in the final stat book for taking a sack, but that's where Penei Sewell's name ended up, right under Jared Goff. The Lions tried a trick play where they pitched it to Sewell on an end around and he was looking to throw the ball down the field.
It wasn't as open as OC Ben Johnson had probably hoped, and Sewell did a nice job to just tuck it and run, putting a pretty wicked stiff arm on a defender before being pushed out of bounds for a 1-yard loss. Sewell has a good arm. We watch him throw at practice on Fridays. It's too bad the country didn't get to see him let one loose Thursday.
Muhammad contribution: Edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad stepped up in a big way for a short-handed Lions defensive front. He had a number of terrific rushes and pressures. He finished with a sack, tackle for loss and a pass defended. Depending on how severe the injuries to Josh Paschal (knee) and Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) are, the Lions might need Muhammad to play a bigger role moving forward.

Moving up the list: Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed nine times for 87 yards (9.7 avg.) and added two receptions for 17 yards to tally 104 scrimmage yards. It's his 12th career game with 100-plus scrimmage yards. Gibbs now has 2,516 career scrimmage yards, passing Kevin Smith (2,424) for the third most scrimmage yards a Lions player has logged through two career seasons.
Two staples – running and scoring: Detroit has rushed for 100-or-more yards in each of the first 12 games of the season and have scored 20-or-more points for the 10th straight game, the second longest single-season streak in franchise history.
