The Chicago Bears dropped another close game for the second week in a row, this time to their division rivals to the northeast in the Detroit Lions. The Bears lost 31-30 despite another impressive performance by the offense and quarterback Justin Fields. The second-year signal caller continued to dazzle, totaling four touchdowns on the day, two through the air and two on the ground.
Defensively, the Bears struggled to stop quarterback Jared Goff as the Lions scored 24 points and moved the ball with ease. The difference, however, was a pick six thrown by Fields and a missed extra point by Cairo Santos that gave the Lions a chance to win the game late in the fourth quarter. Fields and the offense were unable to mount one final scoring drive and the lions sealed the victory.
