At Pride of Detroit here Ricky Wagner Jersey White , we like to joke about the Detroit Lions’ recent record against the Chicago Bears. We’ve tried to popularize the hashtag #WeOwnTheBears, based on the Lions’ 9-1 record against the Bears over the past five seasons. But it certainly seems like the fun and games could come to an end very soon. The Lions will play the Bears twice in the span of 11 games, and right now Chicago undeniably looks like the better team. Sure, they have yet to notch that season-defining win, but at 5-3, they’re atop the division and clearly headed in the right direction as a franchise.Meanwhile, we all know what’s happening with the Lions, and the 2018 season seems to be on life support. So today’s Question of the Day is:What will the Lions’ record be in the two Bears games this season?My answer: Logically speaking Tracy Walker Jersey White , there’s no reason the Bears shouldn’t win both games. However, this rivalry has been wacky and close recently. Of the past 10 contests, eight of them have been decided by one score.And let’s not forget just how unpredictable this Lions team has been thus far this season. Many fans pegged them as dead after losing in the first two weeks of the season. However, they followed that up by taking it to the New England Patriots. Not many gave them a chance against the Packers a couple weeks later, and Detroit not only defeated their division foes, but followed it up with their best overall performance against the Dolphins.Still, it’s hard to see how Detroit comes away with a win based on the way they are playing right now. But logic hasn’t been able to explain this team properly, so I’m going with 1-1 Ricky Jean Francois Jersey White , even though I don’t have any real reason to think that.Your turn. It was a mild surprise when the Detroit Lions brought back Zach Zenner this week. The Lions running back was placed on injured reserve after suffering a back injury in the preseason finale. A couple weeks into the season, the Lions waived him from IR, seemingly ending the Zenner era in Detroit.However, enough time has passed since his injury settlement that he was allowed to return to the Lions, and Zenner told the media on Wednesday about his time away from the team.He also finally provided some context to his preseason back injury.“It was pretty bad. I had two fractures,” Zenner said. “They’re not load-bearing bones, so certain movements it would grab me, but it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. If you’re going to break your back Matthew Stafford Jersey , that’s what you want to do.”In his rookie year, Zenner suffered an even more terrifying injury. He broke his ribs and punctured a lung in an injury he calls “way worse” than the broken back. But the injuries didn’t deter Zenner from a comeback. While he continued to prepare for his career as a doctor—he was studying for the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) prior to his return to the Lions—he also spent a good portion of his time getting back into football shape when his body was ready:“I was preparing for either outcome. Preparing to move on and go to school and do some other fun stuff, and also preparing to come back and play for someone,” Zenner said.You can watch a portion of Zenner’s interview here.When you throw to Kenny Golladay, good things happen: MLive’s Nate Atkins listed five surprises and eight busts from the first half of the Lions’ 2018 season. Detroit Lions legend Wally Triplett, who was the first African-American player chosen in the NFL Draft and first to play in the league, passed away Thursday at age 92. The Lions offered this statement: Lions Wire’s Jeff Risdon has four coaching decisions the Lions could make to turn the season around (warning: slideshow).
