The Bears put together a 10-play, 72-yard drive, but the Lions defense was able to get off the field and hold Chicago to a 25-yard Connor Barth field goal. The Bears now lead, 17-6, with 10:14 remaining.
After a 12-yard completion, Jordan Howard picked up 17 on the ground to get Chicago near midfield. Brian Hoyer then found Eddie Royal for a 13-yard pick up. Back-to-back short completions picked up another first down for the Bears. Howard reeled in a screen pass and spun his way to a nine-yard gain, picking up a second-and-short on the ground on the very next play.
