Will the Bears get revenge on the Lions, or will Detroit play spoiler? Follow along for live updates and highlights from Sunday's game.
The Lions (9-8, fourth in NFC North) beat the Chicago Bears (11-6, first in NFC North) 19-16 on a walk-off 42-yard field goal from kicker Jake Bates on Sunday, Jan. 4, at Soldier Field in Chicago. Bates hit four field goals on the day, including the final one that put the Lions above .500 for the season.
He was a major bright spot on defense, coming up with a crucial pass breakup on St. Brown and then taking away a trick play to Jared Goff that forced a Lions punt. Then, he came up with the tip on Kevin Byard’s fourth-quarter interception. Without those plays, who knows if the Bears come back in this one?
