NFL Week 2 cheat sheet: Top games, storylines to know (Ben Johnson faces former Lions team.  One of the more intriguing matchups of Week 2 can be found in Detroit, where the Lions will host the Chicago Bears in an NFC North showdown. While a divisional matchup is always worth checking in on, this matchup does bring with it another layer of spice. Bears head coach Ben Johnson will be facing the Lions for the first time since leaving the organization this offseason after three seasons as the club's offensive coordinator. Both teams are coming off losses in the opener, with Detroit enduring its largest loss (a 27-13 defeat to Green Bay) since 2023. Meanwhile, the Bears are looking to rebound after a fourth-quarter collapse against the VIkings, allowing 21 straight points to fall 27-24.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-chiefs-super-bowl-rematch-plus-other-nfl-week-2-storylines-and-games-to-know-before-kickoff/

NFL Week 2 bold predictions: Colts' Jones shines again (Bears upset Lions, hand Detroit consecutive losses for first time since 2022.  The Detroit Lions stumbled out of the gate in 2025, losing 27-13 in Week 1 at the Green Bay Packers in a lifeless loss and their largest defeat since 2023. Good news for Detroit is it has won 10 consecutive games following a loss, the longest active streak in the NFL. The last time the Lions lost consecutive games was all the way back in October 2022.  Another positive note for Detroit is that it is 5-1 against its Week 2 opponent, the Chicago Bears since 2022. However, the Lions' game against the Bears will be a little different: Detroit will welcome back former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to Ford Field as the new coach of the Bears. The Lions averaged 29 points per game in Johnson's three seasons at the controls, the most in the NFL from 2022 to 2024.  Despite Lions quarterback Jared Goff carving up the Bears last season (five touchdowns passes and no interceptions while averaging 278.5 passing yards per game), Johnson and his new quarterback Caleb Williams will get the better of Goff and coach Dan Campbell in Week 2. Packers quarterback Jordan Love was able to pick apart the Lions' secondary early in Week 1, and Johnson, having been in the building the last three years, will have critical insight in Williams being able to do the same. Detroit's new defensive coordinator, Kelvin Sheppard, was an internal promotion from the role of linebackers coach after all.  Plus, Chicago is primed to get No. 1 cornerback Jaylon Johnson (calf/groin) back in action in Week 2. He fully practiced on both Wednesday and Thursday after missing Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears will give Ben Johnson the last laugh with a shocking Week 2 victory.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-2-bold-predictions-daniel-jones-balls-out-again-for-colts-caleb-williams-ben-johnson-bounce-back/

5 NFL Teams That Are Already Desperate for a Bounce Back Win in Week 2 (Detroit Lions - Jared Goff and the Lions lost their season opener to the Packers on Sunday.  Week 1 result: 27-13 loss at Green Bay Packers.  Week 2 opponent: Home vs. Chicago Bears (0-1).  The Lions looked completely lost this past Sunday without former coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. The offense, now led by John Morton, scored just 13 points while the defense, called by Kelvin Sheppard, let up 27 points and was unable to generate any pressure on quarterback Jordan Love—despite having what many expected to be one of the league's best pass rushes.  Detroit has Super Bowl aspirations thanks not only to winning 15 games a season ago, but also because of the culture Dan Campbell has built since taking over in 2021. A win at home against the Chicago Bears this weekend is all but required if they want to stay on track in a daunting NFC North division.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/5-nfl-teams-desperate-for-bounce-back-week-2




NFL 2025: 3 teams with the most to prove in Week 2 (Detroit Lions:  The Detroit Lions were another team that ended last season in deflating fashion. So when the team looked completely lost in Week 1, levels of concern reached a new point.  This week, the Lions welcome back former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and his Chicago Bears. Winning this game was always important, but after the team's Week 1 performance, it feels like a must-win.):  https://www.thebiglead.com/nfl-2025-3-teams-with-most-to-prove-week-2
