These are not the same Detroit Lions. However, these are the same Chicago Bears.
Dan Campbell’s team got 17 points in the final 2:59 on Sunday to down the Bears, 31-26, in an NFC North clash.
The Bears led for much of the game and were up 26-14 after a Cairo Santos field goal with 4:15 left.
The culture change in Detroit was never more evident than the final minutes of the contest.
Jared Goff found Jameson Williams with a 32-yard TD pass. That was followed by a 73-yard drive, which ended with a David Montgomery one-yard run and subsequent 2-point conversion.

The finishing touch in the contest was Aidan Hutchinson separating the ball from Justin Fields and it went out of the end zone for a safety.
