The bears really misspelled the name of Prince Amukamara on his jersey

The Detroit Lions have played twice in four years with Jim Caldwell, spending his four years as an increasingly competitive member of the worst in the North NFC. In the same period of time, the Bears were among the worst teams in the NFL. They operated in the basements of their division and emerge only among the top 10 choices.

But the Bears' 34-22 win over the Lions on Sunday revealed a growing truth about these two teams led by first-year head coaches: one team is heading in the right direction, while the other is heading in the wrong direction .

Matt Nagy's Bears attack crushed the Matt Patricia's Lions defense. Mitch Trubisky had a perfect smuggler score in the first half and finished with 23 attempts in 30 attempts for 355 yards, three touchdowns and a score of 148.6 for smugglers. He also ran for a touchdown in what was his best game since the awesome fourth week of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, Vic Fangio's defense got the better of Jim Bob Cooter's attack, intercepting Stafford twice and sending him away six more times. Khalil Mack had two of those sacks, including the second when he pushed Taylor Decker on the ground to bring down an unfortunate Stafford. Bryce Callahan also had another productive match, with a sack, a tackle for a loss and two breaks.

The fact that the Bears managed to defeat Cody Parkey by standing four times and leaving eight points on the field, while winning by 12 points, shows the gap that separates the two teams. It's not surprising that the Bears are now 6-3 at the top of the NFC North, while the Lions are 3-6 at the bottom of it.

The Lions played as a team without identity, a team that will be better known in 2018 for his coach scolding a journalist for his posture than for everything on the field. The identity of the Bears seemed clear: an attack capable of exploding for many points, and an aggressive defense, ballhawking with a penchant for big games.

The Bears still have a long way to go before they can claim anything other than being the worst team in the North of the NFC. The Sunday night football fixture with the Minnesota Vikings seems to be a decisive match in the division.

But if you have to crawl before walking, the Bears embody this shot Sunday. This is clearly no longer the worst team in the NFC North. Lions are clearly.
