TEAMS: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Attention Lions fans: Anthony Adams feels your pain.
"I'm from Detroit, so I know exactly what they are going through with the fans," said the Bears defensive tackle. "But this is a team we can't write off. They're still pretty good, so we got to have a good gameplan for them."
Adams was born and raised in Detroit, leading Martin Luther King High School to three consecutive runner-up honors in the city championship game. He admits to feeling some satisfaction after the Lions snapped their 19-game losing streak with a victory over Washington last Sunday.
"Yeah, I was [happy], I was," said Adams. "Being a Detroit guy, I always watched Barry Sanders, Herman Moore and all those guys. I was a big fan."
Adams knows he can't be a fan this week, as he takes on a decent Detroit offensive line -- anchored by Lions mainstays Dominic Raiola and Jeff Backus, plus promising second-year tackle Gosder Cherilus.
