Lions overcome big effort by Fields, beat Bears 31-30

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — The Detroit Lions looked as if they were on their way to another loss trailing by 14 points in the fourth quarter. Jamaal Williams scored on a 1-yard run in the closing minutes, Jared Goff threw for 236 yards and a touchdown, and Detroit overcame another dazzling effort by Chicago’s Justin Fields to beat the Bears 31-30 on Sunday. LIONS RALLY The Lions tied it with two touchdowns in a span of just over a minute early in the fourth — a 9-yard run by D’Andre Swift and Okudah’s 20-yard interception return. The defense then stopped Chicago, with Julian Okwara sacking Fields after he broke several tackles, and the Lions picked up back-to-back wins for the first time since October 2020 under former coach Matt Patricia. “I think when you have a team like that that has an unwavering belief in the things that are being preached from top to bottom, I think you’ll get good results,” Okudah said.
