For the second week in a row, the Chicago Bears were involved in a shootout in which they fell just short in securing a win. The Bears lost 31-30 to the Detroit Lions, dropping their third game in a row despite another strong outing from the offense.
Quarterback Justin Fields once again had a spectacular day, both through the air and on the ground, but couldn’t find the magic late in the fourth quarter to lead the Bears back after they surrendered a 14-point lead in the second half. It’s been a similar story for the Bears the last couple of weeks. The defense struggles to stop the opposing offense, but the offense or special teams commits a fatal flaw to put the game out of reach despite having a strong game. In this case, it was a pick six that Fields threw to former college teammate Jeff Okudah that was the difference.
