It was a big 10-point swing to end the first half and start the second half. Fields had 105 rushing yards in the first quarter for Chicago and the Bears scored on each of their first two possessions, but the Lions' defense held Fields to just 27 rushing yards the rest of the way. Key moment: Ahead 21-10 late in the second quarter, Houston forced a Fields fumble that Hutchinson recovered at midfield with just over two and a half minutes to go before halftime. Hutchinson also had an interception, which makes him the first rookie in NFL history to produce a season with at least 7.5 sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. The two sacks for Paschal were his first two of the season.

A 21-yard touchdown pass from Goff to Swift put the Lions up 38-10 with 6:36 left in the third quarter. On first-and-goal, Goff faked a handoff, dropped back then threw a short pass to Wright, who powered into the end zone. Kicker Michael Badgley came out on fourth-and-1 and made a 23-yard field goal, giving the Lions a 24-10 just before halftime. However, the drive stalled after Fields was sacked for a loss of three yards on third-and-2 from the 2. Three plays later, Goff pitched the ball to Williams, who rushed up the middle untouched for a 17-yard score. On third-and-4, Fields flashed his athleticism again by scrambling up the middle and speeding past Lions' defenders for a 60-yard gain to reach the Detroit 9. While the Bears defense got a third-down stop, the Lions went for it on fourth-and-4. Goff completed another deep ball, this time finding Chark wide open over the middle for a 28-yard gain to the Chicago 29. The Lions fired right back with a touchdown drive on their opening possession, tying the score at 7-7 with 6:45 left in the first quarter. Brown for a 28-yard gain to reach Chicago territory, but a couple plays later, an offensive holding penalty set the Lions back to the 50.

Kmet all alone on the play-action pass for the touchdown. FiveThirtyEight has the Lions with a 24% chance of making the postseason. Strong start for the defensive line, with a 1-yard run and pressure on Fields making it third-and-9. And you already know the offense is on the field, going for it on fourth-and-5. Holding on Frank Ragnow makes it second-and-20 -- but there’s Kalif Raymond on the slant for 15 yards. Third-and-10 after the refs second-guess themselves on a downfield toss for Kmet -- incomplete, low-percentage look. Designed-keeper for Fields, and it’s third-and-goal at the 2-yard line -- Fields is forced out of bounds for a loss. Really nice look on the quick screen to Kalif Raymond, goes for 9 yards and the first down. Jameson Williams takes the end-around all the way down to the 10-yard line, 39 yards on the rush.

Yeah, I think in order to win in this league and sustain it for a long time, your front's gotta be really good. He plays the game the right way and I love his mentality just in terms of he wants to be the best. I'm really excited to see them grow, and especially Blackwell, I've really been impressed with him and the time that he's put into it before he even got on the field, I know that's gotta be really rewarding for him. But I know he can play in this league; he knows he can play in this league. As we move into this new year, to me it's consistency and it's elevating from how we played in the past.
That was the first time since 1921 that Chicago hasn't been at least tied atop the league's franchise wins list. The NFL wasn't even called the “National ...
