"Last month Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said it can take five weeks to discover the identity of an offense.

Here we are in Week 5 with the Bears (2-2) facing a critically important NFC North game, the most significant division game the Lions (4-0) have played in a long time, maybe since they moved to Ford Field in 2002.

A win and the Bears pull within a game of their rival and don't lose any ground to the Packers (4-0), who play at Atlanta on Sunday night. A loss and the Bears would be three games behind at least one division foe, a big deficit to handle even early in the season."
