Lions win 7-3

That's great because the Bears are stinking up the joint so far, down 21-0 already! New England playing like it's 75 and sunny out.

"Super Bowl preview" is what I had heard...

Boy would this be a boring super bowl.

Patriots trying to do the Packers an even bigger favor.

Patriots trying to do the Packers an even bigger favor.

Nope...the Packers lost a divisional game, which is much more significant than the Bears losing a non-conference game when it comes down to potential tiebreakers at the end of the year. With today's results, the Bears now can wrap up the NFC North title next week if the Packers lose at New England and the Bears win Monday night at Minnesota. In fact, if the Bears win at Minnesota, the only way they won't win the NFC North will be if the Packers beat the Patriots, Giants, and Bears, and the Bears lose to the Jets. Next week's game is HUGE for the Bears. They can also win the division simply by beating the Packers on January 2nd, regardless of how the Bears and Packers do the next 2 games.

I know all that, but it helps to still be 1 game behind the leader in the Division, especially with a game against the Patriots on the road coming up and another against the Giants before they play the Bears.
