In the high-stakes clash today, Lions head coach Dan Campbell is laser-focused on one goal: defeating his former offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, who now leads the Chicago Bears.

When asked about Johnson, who spent four pivotal years under Campbell before taking the helm in Chicago, Campbell wasted no time asserting his confidence. "Ben’s my friend. He’s always going to be my friend. But nothing about that’s going to change," he stated firmly. "We’re going in, getting ready to play Chicago. We’re going to win this game. We have to."

The pressure is thick for both coaches. Johnson's Bears are coming off a rocky start that saw him stumble in clock management during a Monday night loss to the Vikings. A second straight defeat would leave Chicago at a dismal 0-2, igniting concerns over whether Johnson is cut out to be a head coach or simply excels with Xs and Os.

But for Campbell and the Lions, an 0-2 start would be a bitter pill to swallow. With Super Bowl dreams hanging in the balance, a pair of losses to division rivals would crown the Lions as the league’s biggest disappointment so far this season.

As kickoff approaches, Campbell’s urgency rings clear: the Lions don't just want to win—they need it. Will they rise to the occasion? Only hours stand between them and the answer!
