Lions vs. Bears Highlights: Detroit Wins at the Buzzer, But Chicago Gets No. 2 Seed

Updated: Jan 04, 2026 - 7:33 PM ET

Both the Lions and Bears might have left Sunday's game getting what they wanted.

Detroit was able to avoid blowing a 16-point lead and losing in its season finale, taking down Chicago, 19-16, thanks to a game-winning field goal at the buzzer. However, the Bears' loss didn't affect their playoff seeding in any way. They still got the No. 2 seed in the NFC thanks to the Eagles' loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Here's how everything transpired in Sunday's Lions-Bears game.
