The Detroit Lions secured a 34-17 win over the Chicago Bears, setting a franchise record for wins during the regular season with a 13-2 record. The Lions’ offense was strong, scoring on their first five drives, while the defense was opportunistic, forcing several turnovers.
The game started with the Lions winning the toss and deferring to the Bears. The Bears went three-and-out on their first drive, and the Lions took over, driving down to the Bears’ 15-yard line before settling for a field goal. The Lions’ defense then forced a fumble on the Bears’ next drive, which was recovered by Josh Paschal.
The Lions capitalized on the turnover, driving down to the Bears’ 1-yard line before Jahmyr Gibbs punched it in for a touchdown. The Lions’ offense continued to roll, scoring on their next three drives, including an 82-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Jameson Williams.
The Bears finally got on the board with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to Cole Kmet, but the Lions responded with another touchdown, this time on a WR screen to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions took a 27-14 lead into halftime.
In the second half, the Lions continued to pull away, scoring on their first drive of the third quarter on a trick play that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta. The Bears tried to mount a comeback, but the Lions’ defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs and then sacking Caleb Williams on a key third-down play.
The Lions’ offense then took over, bleeding clock and driving down to the Bears’ 13-yard line before attempting a field goal. The Bears took over with just over five minutes left, but the Lions’ defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs and securing the win.
The win sets the Lions up for a potential playoff run, and they will look to continue their momentum next week. The Bears, on the other hand, will look to regroup and try to spoil the Lions’ playoff hopes in their next matchup.
Overall, the Lions’ strong offense and opportunistic defense were too much for the Bears to handle, and they came away with a convincing 34-17 win.
