The Detroit Lions got back to playing their brand of complementary football Sunday against the Bears and the result was a convincing 52-21 win over Chicago.
Here are five stats that stood out from Detroit's dominating performance:
**What it means:** Average yards per play for the Lions against the Bears, setting a new franchise record.
**Twentyman:** Lions quarterback [Jared Goff](https://www.detroitlions.com/team/players-roster/jared-goff/) said the offense goes into every game with the expectation to get six to eight explosive plays depending on the opponent. Detroit generated just one explosive play of 20-plus yards in a Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers. That number ticked up significantly to seven 20-plus-yard plays against Chicago on Sunday.
Sunday was the first time in team history that Detroit generated at least 500 total net yards, five passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the same game. That was as dominating an offensive performance as we've seen in Detroit and there have been some pretty dominating ones over the last few years. Credit to offensive coordinator John Morton for having a terrific plan of attack for Chicago's defense and to the players for executing it to near perfection.
