The NFC North-leading Detroit (8-2) overcame 4 picks, including Jared Goff‘s campaign-high 3 picks and a 12-point deficit over the last 3:06 to end up with the victory.

Lions have its best record after 10 matches since 1962, giving the organization a chance to triumph with the division title for the 1^st time in 3 decades.

Chicago (3-8) almost won 2 matches in a row for the 1^st time in nearly 2 seasons, but the wait for that to happen will continue.
