The Lions defeated the Bears 34-17 Sunday at Soldier Field. Here's what transpired in the game:

First half

The Lions took a 3-0 lead on Jake Bates' 30-yard field goal on their first possession.

Detroit recovered a fumble at the Bears' 36 that resulted from a botched handoff between quarterback Caleb Williams and receiver Rome Odunze on a jet sweep.

The Lions converted the takeaway into Jahmyr Gibbs' 1-yard touchdown run, extending their lead to 10-0 with 5:34 remaining in the first quarter.

After Detroit forced and recovered an Odunze fumble at the Lions' 40 after a 19-yard reception, Bates' 34-yard field goal widened the margin to 13-0.

The Lions made it 20-0 on Jared Goff's 82-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jameson Williams.

The Bears cut the deficit to 20-7 on Williams' 1-yard TD pass to Cole Kmet with 6:31 left in the first half. Williams' 13-yard completion to Odunze on fourth-and-3 from the Detroit 31 sustained the 14-play, 70-yard drive.

Unfortunately, left tackle Braxton Jones sustained an ankle injury on the fourth-down play. His left leg was placed in an air cast, and he was carted off the field.

The Lions then increased their lead to 27-7 on Goff's 8-yard TD pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown on a receiver screen with :58 to play in the half.

The Bears answered immediately as Williams rifled a 45-yard TD pass down the right sideline to Keenan Allen, splitting two defenders to close the gap to 27-14 with :39 remaining in the half.

Second half

The Lions opened the second half with a 5-play, 79-yard drive that was capped by Goff's 21-yard TD pass to tight end Sam LaPorta, making the score 34-14.

Cairo Santos' 30-yard field goal drew the Bears to within 34-17 midway through the third quarter. The kick came after Odunze's 30-yard catch on a 50/50 pass from Williams on fourth-and-1 from the Lions' 45.

The teams then played a scoreless fourth quarter.

The Bears will be back in action Thursday night when they host the Seahawks at Soldier Field.

Statistically speaking

Williams completed 26 of 40 passes for 334 yards with two TDs and a 107.7 passer rating. He extended his streak without an interception to 326 pass attempts, the longest streak in Bears history and the longest by a rookie in NFL history.
