Both the Lions and Bears might have left Sunday’s game getting what they wanted.
Detroit was able to avoid blowing a 16-point lead and losing in its season finale, taking down Chicago, 19-16, thanks to a game-winning field goal at the buzzer. However, the Bears’ loss didn’t affect their playoff seeding in any way. They still got the No. 2 seed in the NFC thanks to the Eagles’ loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Here’s how everything transpired in Sunday’s Lions-Bears game.
