The Detroit Lions' 2025-26 season was full of ups and downs, but it ended on a positive note -- even if it did take some ups and downs to get there.
Despite building up a 16-0 lead entering the fourth quarter, the Lions' defense allowed Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears to climb back into the game. A strong start by Kelvin Sheppard's defense dissolved as Williams climbed closer and closer to that 4,000 passing yard season that has eluded the Bears.
Williams led two touchdown drives and converted both two-point conversions to bring the game to a 16-16 tie.
