How the Chicago Bears can ‘exploit’ the Detroit Lions

During an appearance Friday on 670 The Score’s “Mully & Haugh Show,” Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune said the Bears defensive line has a chance to “exploit” a regressing Lions offensive line.

“Yeah, they were moving both those guys around right, (Montez) Sweat, and I think Dayo (Oedyingbo) had 18 snaps on each side, a couple in the middle,” Biggs said of Chicago’s scheme against Minnesota. “Now, this guy’s (Taylor Decker) a total, totally different animal than Justin Skule, who we saw for the Vikings.

“Those are big, physical offensive Tackles for the Lions with (Taylor) Decker and with Penei Sewell. And you can’t just beat them with with power, straight down Broad Street, but you would hope that, yeah, if Decker is not 100 percent or if he doesn’t play, that the Bears have a host of guys, not just Sweat, who can take advantage of that situation, and that’s certainly something from the Lions injury report side of things that you’re going to want to be looking out for this afternoon.”

The Bears front seven needs to control the game. Of course, for Chicago to keep that advantage for four quarters, Caleb Williams and the offense need to do their part to give the defense a rest, something they failed to do against the Vikings.

The 2025 Lions aren’t the same giant they were last year, and the Bears need to strike while they’re down to earn a win in Week 2.
