The Lions appeared to be cruising to an easy win, leading 20-10 with less than two minutes remaining. However, the Bears staged a furious rally, scoring a touchdown and recovering an onside kick.

With just 10 seconds left on the clock, the Bears faced a 4th-and-15 from the Lions’ 32-yard line. Quarterback Justin Fields took the snap and hurriedly threw the ball into the end zone, but it was incomplete.
