Live updates: Lions come back late to shock Bears on the road

Final: Lion 31, Bears 30

Jamaal Williams with a first down run to seal it. What a win for this team.

-Q4 1:04: And Julian Okwara sacks Fields. That might do it. Lions could get a HUGE win on the road.

-Q4 1:12: This is it. 4th and 8 for the Bears. Hutchinson sacked Fields on 2nd down.

Two-minute warning

Lions retake the lead

-Q4 2:21: Jamaal Williams finds paydirt. Big 44-yard catch-and-run by Tom Kennedy set it up. Extra point…is good. Lions lead 31-30 with 2:21 left. Chicago has all three timeouts left.

-Q4 5:23: Lions defense comes through with a three-and-out. They’ll have about five minutes to score.

-Q4 8:01: Lions go three-and-out after throwing short of the sticks on 3rd and 8. They will punt it away.

Bears answer right back

-Q4 9:11: And then Justin Fields takes it 67 yards to the house. Sigh. 30-24 after the missed extra point.

Okudah Matata

-Q4 10:29: Wow. Jeff Okudah with the pick-six. This is a tie game, folks. Unbelievable.

Lions not going away

-Q4 11:37: D’Andre Swift caps off a drive heavily aided by Chicago penalties with a nine-yard TD run. 24-17 now. Defense needs another stop.

-Q4 13:35: Lions defense finally forces a three-and-out. If they’re going to get back into this game, now’s the time.

End of third quarter: Bears lead Lions 24-10

Lions punt again. It was shanked a bit by Jack Fox. Nothing going right for the Lions this half.

Bears increase their lead

-Q3 2:43: Welp. Somehow the Lions defense lost Cole Kmet, who was wide open for a 50-yard TD pass. 24-10 now.

-Q3 4:09: After botching an end around that caused a huge loss of yardage on second down, the Lions can’t pick up a 3rd and 19. They are punting again. This could get out of hand quick.

Bears take the lead

-Q3 7:36: And the Bears march right down the field and score. Fields throws it to Cole Kmet from six yards out. 17-10.

-Q3 13:10: And the Lions go three-and-out to start the half. Not great, Bob.

Pregame

After finally picking up a win against a Packers team in freefall, the Lions will look to pick up its first road win under Dan Campbell against the Chicago Bears.

The Lions’ defense looked much improved last week, though that game could say much more about how bad the Packers’ offense has become. It’s in for a real test this week against a revived Bears offense led by quarterback Justin Fields, who appears to finally be coming into his own.

If the Lions want to win back-to-back games for the first time since 2020, it’ll have to do something it’s struggled to do for a while now: stop a mobile QB.
