Lions running back D’Andre Swift (32) scores on a 17-yard run in the second quarter Sunday at Ford Field.

There’s not much left for the Bears’ defense to do after allowing 504 yards in a 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday at Ford Field. They’re last in the league in points allowed, 31st in yards per play, 29th in rushing yards per attempt and 32nd and last in passing yards per attempt.

One final game isn’t going to change any of that. They’ll be almost literally playing for pride in the season finale against the Vikings on Sunday at Soldier Field, because many of them are unlikely to return for 2023.
