Overview
- Jake Bates hit a 42-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Lions over the Bears 19-16 after Chicago erased a 16-0 fourth-quarter deficit.
- Despite the defeat, the Bears secured the NFC's No. 2 seed thanks to Washington's win over Philadelphia and will host the Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field.
- Coach Ben Johnson said he was "not pleased" with the offense after a scoreless first half, a 4-of-11 mark on third down, 270 total yards and a season-low 65 rushing yards.
- Caleb Williams set the franchise single-season passing record at 3,942 yards and finished the game 20-of-33 with two touchdowns and one interception.
- Chicago's defense surrendered 433 yards one week after giving up 496 to San Francisco, though Kevin Byard's late interception gave him a league-leading seven before a three-and-out preceded Detroit's winning drive.
