Detroit Lions Dominate Bears With Statement Win, Celebrate Former Coordinator

The Detroit Lions secured a dominant 52-21 victory over the Chicago Bears, marking their first win of the 2025 season and a strong rebound from their Week 1 loss. Key highlights included explosive plays by Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown's three touchdowns, and a deep connection from Jared Goff to Jameson Williams, while the defense pressured Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams effectively. A notable moment came when Lions safety Kerby Joseph intercepted Williams and led the defense in a playful reenactment of the 'Stumblebum' trick play, originally called by former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, now head coach of the Bears. This celebration was both a humorous jab and a symbolic message, emphasizing Detroit's preparedness and confidence against their former coordinator. Fans and commentators praised the team's improved performance, particularly in blocking and defense, and eagerly anticipate their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens. The victory and the spirited celebration underscored the Lions’ reclaiming of momentum and control within the division.
