The Detroit Lions head coach said the team's running back David Montgomery is seeking a third opinion after injuring his knee during their loss to the Buffalo Bills

(FOX 2) - The Detroit Lions take on the Chicago Bears this weekend as Jared Goff and the rest of the team hope to return to the winning column after their 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.

This time, the Lions challenge isn't a daunting high-scoring AFC opponent, but a divisional rival that fought Detroit to the very end during their first game of the season.

Despite Chicago's elimination from the playoffs and Detroit's post-season clinch, the next game won't be lacking in drama. Chicago will be looking to avenge their loss and end their eight-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, Detroit has an NFC North title and a first seed in the playoffs on the line.

What's at stake

Detroit's 11-game winning streak came to an end after losing to the Bills on Sunday. They also lost more players to injury, including defensive end Alim McNeil and running back David Montgomery.

As injuries have piled up, the team once the favorite to win the Super Bowl is now hoping the growing list of starters not playing doesn't hinder their performance at the end of the season.

But with the defense even more injured than the last time they played Chicago, Detroit will need to find a way to adapt with three games left this season.

Meanwhile, both the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles have tied Detroit in the standings, each now 12-2. Detroit holds the tiebreaker for now, but will likely need to keep winning if they want to hang their second NFC North divisional banner in a row.

The Vikings, a team with longshot odds for success at the start of the season has bloomed into one of the best in the conference, despite losing their starting quarterback before the first game.

For the Bears, it's been a season of turmoil among its coaching staff as rookie Caleb Williams has struggled to pull Chicago into the winning column during very close games.
