Against the Bears on Sunday, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is set to make his 137th consecutive start -- the second longest streak among active quarterbacks to Los Angeles' Philip Rivers.
However, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports there is significant concern that streak could be snapped as Stafford, listed as questionable, is dealing with hip and back injuries.
Rapoport says it will be a game-time decision.
