Three keys to victory for the Chicago Bears, who are still looking to get in the win column in 2016.

The Chicago Bears face off with the 1-2 Detroit Lions on Sunday.  The Lions are a very different team than the Bears have played in recent years.  Calvin Johnson has retired and Marvin Jones is Matthew Stafford’s top target.

The Lions defense limps into Soldier Field, with key cogs DeAndre Levy and Ziggy Ansah banged up and possibly out of action.

For the Bears, the injury list is a mile long, highlighted by Jay Cutler who’s likely to miss his second straight game with a thumb injury.  The offense will have to step up without their starting quarterback and starting running back Jeremy Langford, who’s out with a sprained ankle.

An 0-3 start is far from what the Chicago Bears expected to start the year. However, it wasn’t until week 4 that the Bears put themselves in the win column last year. A lot of positives can still come out of this season, and it all starts with a win this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Here are the keys to the game which will guarantee a Bears victory!
