The Chicago Bears let a promising Thanksgiving comeback slip away against the Detroit Lions.
Their final drive, marred by poor clock management, ended in a 23-20 defeat and extended their losing streak to six games. Despite Caleb Williams leading an impressive second-half rally, mistakes and penalties unraveled the effort in the final minute.
Williams’ completion to the Lions’ 13-yard line was nullified by a penalty, pushing the Bears back to the 35. A subsequent sack and lack of a timely timeout left no opportunity for a field goal attempt.
A desperate pass fell incomplete as time expired, leaving the Bears to reflect on another missed opportunity.
