Surging Lions Beat Bears 24-13 and Improve to 5-0
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Matthew Stafford's second touchdown pass put Detroit ahead in the third and Jahvid Best's 88-yard run later in the quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead in a 24-13 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday night.
The Lions (5-0) are undefeated through five games for the first time since 1956 -- the year before their last NFL title.
The defending NFC North champion Bears (2-3) are off to their worst start since 2007. They are three games behind Detroit and defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay in the division.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Detroit and its fans were clearly fired up for the franchise's first Monday night game in a decade.
The Lions had their largest crowd at Ford Field and the 67,861 fans created enough noise to rattle the Bears into nine false starts.
