Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears Post Game Show: Closing the 2025 Season at Soldier Field
A Familiar Rivalry to End a Frustrating Year
The Detroit Lions closed the 2025 NFL season on the road at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears, a setting that has a way of sharpening emotions regardless of records or standings. This finale came with a different weight. Detroit entered the final week knowing the season had fallen short of expectations, and this game became less about playoff math and more about accountability, pride, and clarity heading into the offseason.
On our post game show, we will focus on what this final performance says about the Lions as a whole. Was there urgency from the opening drive, or did the game reflect a team still searching for consistency? Division games against Chicago are never meaningless, and the Bears had plenty of motivation to play spoiler while evaluating their own future pieces.
A major lens for this discussion will be Jared Goff. As the quarterback and the face of the offense, Goff’s play in this game will spark conversation regardless of the outcome. Did he command the offense cleanly? Was the passing game efficient and decisive? Did Detroit finish drives or settle for missed opportunities that defined much of the season? These questions frame the larger evaluation of where the Lions go next.
What We Will Break Down on the Post Game Show
Tonight’s Detroit Lions post game show will unpack the Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears matchup through several key themes:
Offensive execution: How well did Detroit move the ball and sustain drives? Were the Lions balanced, or did the offense struggle with familiar issues in protection and timing?
Quarterback performance: Goff’s decision making, accuracy, and leadership will be a central topic. This game offers one last data point before offseason conversations begin.
Defensive effort: Did the Lions play with physicality and discipline against a Bears offense that thrives on mistakes? How well did Detroit handle third downs and red zone situations?
Coaching and game management: End of season games often reveal philosophy. We will discuss play calling tendencies, in game adjustments, and whether Detroit showed signs of cohesion or fatigue.
Young players and evaluation: Late season games are about the future as much as the present. Which players used this opportunity to make a case for bigger roles next year?
Listener Calls and Detroit Lions Reaction
As always, the most important part of the post game show is hearing from the fans. We will open the phone lines and take listener calls to capture the full Detroit Lions reaction to this season finale. Was this game a positive step toward resetting expectations, or did it reinforce frustrations that have lingered all year?
The tone of this show will reflect a fan base processing a season that promised more than it delivered. There will be honest discussion, measured analysis, and space for emotion. That is what the final week is for.
