Less than 30 minutes from kickoff from Detroit, a city that believes in the 4-0 Lions. They're thrilled to have MNF back after a decade, and they're referring to tonight as 'Detroit's Super Bowl'. The Bears have played some uneven games to get to 2-2. Are the Lions for real? They schedules been kind to them so far. Tonight's a big test for both of these teams.

I wonder if Hank Williams Jr's supportive friends are coming over tonight

Detroit's got an awful lot of hype to live up to. Matt Stafford is a talented QB, but nobody seems to mention that he's never made it through an NFL season. The second quarter of the season starts tonight.

The Lions won the toss, and they'll receive. Let's see how the #Bears defense looks now that Chris Harris is back.

Touchback, the #Lions will start at their own 20. Stafford misses on a screen to Nate Burleson. A screen to Pettigrew gets 8 yards, 3rd and 2. They get the 1st on a short pass to Titus Young. From the 37, Detroit's 1st run gets nothing. A reverse nets maybe 2 yards, and it's 3rd and long. Stafford overthrows Young, they'll punt

Hester is back, but they kick itout of bounds. the #Bears and Jay Cutler will start from their 20 with 12:20 left in the quarter, and Kellen Davis backs them up with a false start. A delay to Matt Forte goes nowhere, 2nd and 15 and Forte gets 9 yards on an end around. Another false start, this time on J'Marcus Webb. Sloppy. 3rd and 11 goes to 3rd and 16 as Webb does it again. A screen to Hester gets nothing. They'll punt

The #Lions will start near their 40. The #Bears need to settle down offensively. The Lions get 6 yrds on the ground, but a false start on 2nd down backs them up. Pettigrew goes over the middle and gets wrapped up by Urlacher, it's 3rd and 2. Israel Idonije sacks Stafford. They'll punt.

The #Bears D line was in the Carolina backfield a lot last Sunday, but they couldn't wrap up Cam Newton. They'll get to Stafford.

From their 12 the #Bears give it to Forte, who gets nothing. Sam Hurd gets about 8 on 2nd down. Cutler has to call T.O. on 3rd and 1. This is another symptom of a disorganized team. And Cutler is sacked, but there's a flag because Avril got his facemask. 1st and 10 from the 32, and Forte gets 2 yards. Kellen Davis gets his third false start. 2nd and 13. A pass to Sanzenbacher is broken up, but the Lions are called for pass interference. It will be 1st and 10 from the 39, barring a Detroit challenge on the play.

The #Lions are creating 1st downs for the #Bears. The challenge is successful, because Avril tipped it at the line. So it's 3rd and 13, with 4:13 left in the quarter. A blown play and Cutler pitches to Forte, who can't hold on. A hands to the face penalty and Detroit gives the Bears another 1st and 10. From the 39 again, Suh jumps offsides. 1st and 5 and another broken play. Willie Young is called for roughing. 1st and 10 and Forte gets about 4 yards. From the Lions 42, he goes up the gut for the 1st. Cutler scrambles and escapes, he runs for 4 yards. Forte gets 1 on 2nd down. 3rd and 5. Cliff Avril comes early and hits Cutler. Forte doesn't get the 1 yard it's 4th and 1, and Marion Barber comes out. Cutler has to burn another T.O.

After the T.O.the #Bears have a 4th and 1 from the 25. Forte goes up the middle. He doesn't get it, wrapped up by Suh. Lovie Smith is challenging the spot of the ball, but it's an iffy decision. He's risking their last time out of the half, with :06 left in the first quarter

The #Bears challenge is unsuccessful. The #Lions take over from their 25. A delayed handoff to Jahvid Best gets 1 yard, and the 1st quarter is over, in a scorelss tie.

7-0 #Lions The Lions start the 2nd quarter from their 26. They get another yard on a screen. Stafford sees Calvin Johnson downfield, he goes all the way. Julius Peppers limped off the field before the play.

7-3 #Lions Devin Hester is back for the kickoff. He takes it out, but doesn't make the 20. With left in the half, the Bears will start from the 17, Forte goes for 15 yards and a 1st. They say it's Peppers knee, Kellen Davis loses a yard on a screen. 2nd and 11, and this time Davis breaks free to the 47. 1st and 10. Hester gets a few on a quick screen. 2nd and 7, and Forte is met by a wall up the middle. 3rd and 7, Cutler escapes pressure and hits sanzenbacher over the middle for the 1st. From the Lions 35 Forte gets 1, on 2nd down he lays it up perfectly for Hester, but he can't haul it in. They get close on a pass to Spaeth. they'll bring in the FG unit. Gould hits from 44 yards
