Justin Fields Bears 28-13 Win NFC North-leading Lions

Justin Fields led the Chicago Bears to victory over the Detroit Lions, with the Bears scoring 15 points in seven minutes.

The Chicago Bears had an impressive victory over the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields leading the way by throwing for a touchdown and running for another. This win marked the third victory in four games for the Bears, with receiver DJ Moore contributing a career-first rushing touchdown and a scoring pass. The game was tied at 13-all late in the third quarter, but the Bears scored 15 points in about seven minutes, breaking it open and ultimately securing the win.

The Lions, who were leading the NFC North, suffered a setback with Jared Goff throwing two interceptions, losing a fumbled snap, and being sacked four times. This loss marked the second in three games for the Lions, who had previously looked like a Super Bowl threat.

Fields had an impressive game, completing 19 of 33 passes for 223 yards and running for 58 yards. He also reached a career milestone by joining Bobby Douglass as the only Bears quarterbacks with 2,000 rushing yards. Fields' performance, coupled with Moore's 38-yard touchdown catch, helped the Bears secure the lead.

The Bears' defense also played a crucial role, making big plays and stopping the Lions when it mattered most. This led to a 28-13 victory for the Bears, with contributions from players such as Cole Kmet, who had five catches for 66 yards. The victory was particularly significant as it marked the Bears' first win after a bye week since 2013.

Former Bear David Montgomery, now with the Lions, made his first appearance at Soldier Field since signing with Detroit in the offseason. Despite his efforts, the Lions were unable to secure a win, and the Bears emerged victorious.

Overall, the game showcased the Bears' resilience and determination, with both their offense and defense making significant contributions to secure the win. Despite some minor injuries, the Bears emerged triumphant, marking a significant victory in their season.
