As Lions fans and media watched the scoreboard ahead of Detroit's Week 7 clash against the Green Bay Packers (4-2), there were plenty of reactions to the Chicago Bears' 30-24 "Thursday Night Football" win over the New England Patriots (4-3).
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams made his return to play, throwing for 308 yards and two touchdowns to lead Chicago to the win.
Unfortunately for Lions fans, the Patriots couldn't provide any much-needed help in the NFC North standings on Thursday night.
As kickoff nears between the Lions and Packers, here's some of the best reactions from Lions fans and media to the Bears' Thursday night win over the Pats:

Ben Johnson appears to still be suffering from smartest man in the room syndrome. What an absurd call up 6 and in field goal range.
