NFC North-leading Lions rally from 12-point deficit late to beat Bears 31-26 on Montgomery’s TD run
Associated PressDETROIT — Jared Goff was having perhaps his worst game in three years with the Detroit Lions — whose fans even booed him at times — until it was time to win. Goff threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams with 3:06 to go and connected on five throws to set up David Montgomery’s go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left, lifting the Lions to a 31-26 comeback victory over the Justin Fields-led Chicago Bears on Sunday. We don’t back down.” The NFC North-leading Lions overcame four turnovers, including Goff’s season-high three interceptions, and a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to win. The Bears blew chances to win consecutive games for the first time in nearly two years against one of the NFL’s better teams. “That’s probably a top-five team in the league, maybe top three, and we know we should have beaten them,” Fields said.
