When you’re a diehard fan, sometimes your loyalty hurts — literally. One Chicago Bears supporter found that out the hard way after Detroit’s 52-21 demolition in Week 2. His tradition? Running one mile for every point the Bears lose by. The problem? The Lions handed Chicago a 31-point beating, meaning this poor guy had to lace up for a marathon-plus punishment.
The fan’s journey, captured on video, quickly made the rounds online. Each mile represented not just Detroit’s dominance, but also the depths of Chicago’s current struggles. Lions fans, of course, ate it up, seeing it as both comedy and a testament to just how far the gap between the two teams has grown.
For the Bears faithful, it was a painful reminder of the team’s ongoing rebuild, while for Detroit fans, it was sweet validation of a squad finally living up to its hype. And for one unlucky runner, it was a crash course in why some bets with yourself aren’t always worth keeping.
The Lions didn’t just win on the field — they made one fan’s legs feel the cost of Chicago’s collapse.
