The Detroit Lions will face the Chicago Bears in the opening games of the NFL on Sunday September 12, 2010. This will be the chance for the Lions to be tough and start with a great season.
During the first season with the Chicago Bears, the team brought in renowned coordinator Mike Martz to help turn things around. The Bears need Cutler, as they try to snap a three-year string of missing the playoffs. In his third year as a full-time starter in 2009, Cutler had the second-most passing yards in franchise history with 3,666 and finished two shy of Erik Kramer’s club record of 29 touchdowns set in 1995.

Detroit drafted a potential franchise cornerstone in defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska with the No. 2 pick.
The Lions are looking for Suh to provide an immediate boost to a team that ranked last in total defense at 392.1 yards per game, 25th against the run (126.6 ypg) and 29th in sacks (26) during 2-14 season. Detroit has lost a league-worst 111 games since the start of the 2001 season and 20 in a row on the road since a 16-7 win at Soldier Field on Oct. 28, 2007. The Lions set the NFL record with 24 consecutive road losses from 2001-03.While Chicago won four straight matchups and eight out of 10, and seven of the last nine home meetings.
