It wasn’t pretty, but the Chicago Bears snapped their five-game losing streak, with a Cairo Santos field goal beating the Detroit Lions 16-14 at the final horn.
After the Bears failed to score on their opening possession, which they got after awkwardly attempting to defer on the coin toss after the Lions had already done so, Detroit put together a 7-play, 69-yard scoring drive. Jared Goff capped it off with a touchdown pass to Josh Reynolds, giving Detroit a 7-0 lead.
After the two teams traded punts, the Bears were able to get a drive going with a 33-yard completion from Dalton to Mooney. A few rough throws from Dalton followed, and the Bears had to settle for a short Cairo Santos field goal to get on the board at 7-3.
Later in the half, the Bears scored a touchdown to grab the lead. Dalton found Jimmy Graham for a 17-yard touchdown pass, the tight end’s first scoring grab of the year, and in the blink of an eye the Bears took a 10-7 lead.
The Bears got a late field goal in the first half to take a 13-7 lead, but both offenses began to struggle. Just before the end of the third quarter, Detroit was able to put together another 7-play scoring drive, with tight end TJ Hockenson hauling in a touchdown catch to give the Lions a 14-13 lead in the frame’s closing seconds.
