The Chicago Bears were embarrassed by the Detroit Lions in Ben Johnson's return game Sunday afternoon. Rome Odunze did his part, scoring two touchdowns in the drubbing. The Bears were done in by three-consecutive turnovers in the 1st half, a fumble, a turnover on downs and an interception. That was followed by a questionable call by the referees, allowing the Lions to score a TD at the end of the half instead of the half being over. Jaylon Johnson and T.J. Edwards both left the game early with aggravations of their injuries.
