How to Watch Bears at Lions NFL Week 1

Read more on how to watch the Detroit Lions take on the Chicago Bears in Week 1 NFL action

The Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears kick off regular season play with a Week 1 matchup Sunday in Detroit, Mich. -- the seventh Week 1 meeting the clubs have had since the 1970 NFL merger. 

This marks Detroit’s most common Week 1 opponent over that span.

Despite the clubs owning the NFL’s longest active streak by playing each other at least once a season since 1930, the three most recent times Detroit hosted Chicago in a Week 1 game came in 1954, 1966 and 1982.

The Lions and Bears most recently met in a Week 1 game on Sept. 12, 2010, at Soldier Field. 

The only players from either side that remain with their respective team from that game are Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and long snapper Don Muhlbach.
