“A+ : Afforded a clean pocket, Jared Goff picked Chicago apart from start to finish, spreading five touchdown throws to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and backup tight end Brock Wright. Throw in another 151 yards from the Jahmyr Gibbs-David Montgomery duo, and the all-star attack is officially back.” — Cody Benjamin on CBS Sports
“Locals can breathe a sigh of relief. The offseason of change didn’t completely alter everything. Sunday was the juiciest of 50-burgers against a division rival and former OC. What we really learned: Green Bay’s defense appears even better a week later.” — Around the NFL staff
“Maybe, just maybe, the Lions’ struggles were due more to the Packers than their own issues. Detroit looked great Sunday. They’ll be fine. Week 1’s result just said way more about the Packers, and that is still something the Lions have to contend with.” — Frank Schwab at Yahoo! Sports
“Maybe they had never really gone away, but the Lions announced their return to our NFL lives in emphatic fashion by scoring 52 points against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. That game was an explosive reminder of the multitude of weapons around quarterback Jared Goff.” — Neil Reynolds at Sky Sports
“We were all a little worried when the Lions scored 13 points in Week 1 without Johnson coordinating the offense, but Detroit made a statement by putting 511 yards and 52 points on Johnson’s new team.” — Josh Kendall and Chad Graff at The Athletic
