Caleb Williams and the offense, flat and plagued by drops for most of the day, did what they do every week—give the Chicago Bears a chance to win a football game. Williams and the offense erased a 16-point deficit on back-to-back fourth-quarter drives, but the Lions had the last laugh today with a game-winning Jake Bates field goal, splitting the uprights as time expired.
