Dan Campbell's team did something no other Detroit Lions team has done in the history of the franchise by winning 13 games in a single season. Not too shabby for a squad with two games left on the schedule. The Lions beat the Chicago Bears 34-17, moving to 13-2 on the season and an unblemished 5-0 inside the NFC North. They leaned on Jahmyr Gibbs and Ben Johnson's creativity, with a masterful trick play and Jameson Williams' home-run ability to put the Bears in a hole they couldn't crawl out of. Jared Goff was clean once again, and the Lions turned two early takeaways into 10 points. Ben and Kory break it all down from Soldier Field. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions just can't seem to shake the injury bug. After starting the day getting five key pieces cleared for action, the Lions fear Alim McNeill and Carlton Davis III are done for the season along with cornerback Khalil Dorsey. Ben and Kory do their best to break everything down after the team's 48-42 loss to the Bills, with the winning streak ending at 11 games. Detroit's offense started slow enough to put its defense in a tough spot for most of this game. Jared Goff stuffed the box score. But it wasn't enough for the Lions, who fall to 12-2 as the race for the No. 1 seed and NFC North grow even closer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Detroit's defense has lost starters and key pieces at a rapid rate this year, with even more hits coming these last couple of weeks. They are without four of their top five linebackers from the start of the year, and have been forced into poaching from other team's practice squads and finding veterans on the free-agent market. Ben and Kory discuss the new additions, what the Lions are doing to acclimate them and when/if it will catch up to the NFL's hottest team. Learn more about your ad choices.
