But a costly mistake proved too much to overcome as the Detroit Lions mounted a fourth-quarter rally in a 31-30 win over the Chicago Bears. The Lions posted a 21-point fourth quarter aided by a pick-six from the Bears quarterback in a 31-30 win capped by a go-ahead Jamaal Williams touchdown with 2:21 remaining.
The Bears led 24-10 in the third quarter after touchdowns on three consecutive drives. The Lions answered with a D'Andre Swift score before Fields gifted the Lions the game-tying touchdown. Facing second-and-18 at Chicago's 17-yard line early in the fourth quarter, Fields faced pressure from a pair of Lions defenders and attempted the throw the ball away. He failed. Instead, his pass floated into the hands of Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah, who returned the ball 20 yards to the end zone for the game-tying touchdown.
