The Chicago Bears are getting set for another rematch against the division rival in Week 16 with a home game coming up on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

Last season, the Bears were able to steal a late season victory against the Lions at Soldier Field coming away with a 28-13 win in game where the defense forced three turnovers against Lions' quarterback Jared Goff.

After getting smacked in the mouth last week by the Buffalo Bills, Goff and the Lions won't be holding back with their eyes set on locking up the #1 seed in the NFC.

Sunday's matchup will be available live on FOX during the early window, but not everyone in the country will be able to view the game. Here's which areas will be carrying the game on Sunday.

3 Things To Watch

Can the Bears take advantage of the Lions injuries? The Detroit Lions have been ravaged by injuries all season and it continues to get worse. Multiple defensive starters are down and now RB David Montgomery is out as well. Just look at all their injuries.

Yet another head-to-head audition for Ben Johnson? The Bears coaching search will soon begin and one of the top names on the list is Lions' OC Ben Johnson. How will Johnson look at attack the Bears on Sunday and how effective will his scheme be?

Watch out for trick plays? Speaking of Ben Johnson's scheme, the Lions ran two trick plays last week against the Bills, one went for a touchdown to offensive lineman Dan Skipper. The defense will need to be on their toes in this one.
