On Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions emerged victorious over the Chicago Bears with a score of 31-26, marking their third straight win and an impressive 8-2 record. This achievement places the franchise in a commanding lead in the NFC North and is a first for the Lions since 1962.

Jared Goff initially struggled, throwing three interceptions early in the game. However, he was able to rally his team and lead them out of a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter. A successful 32-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams, followed by a 1-yard touchdown run by David Montgomery, and a well-executed two-point conversion gave the Lions a three-point lead. The victory was sealed when the Lions forced a safety to conclude the game with a five-point victory.

Justin Fields made his return with the Bears, going 16-of-23 for 169 yards with a touchdown and leading the team in rushing with 104 yards. However, it was not enough to secure a win over the surging Lions.

Despite Goff’s three interceptions, he finished with 236 passing yards and two touchdowns to bring the Lions to an impressive 8-2 record on the season. With their next game against Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving day, this could be their chance to claim their first divisional title in over three decades.
