The Detroit Lions overcame a 12-point deficit to defeat the Chicago Bears 31-26 on Sunday, thanks to a late touchdown run by Bo Montgomery. The win was the Lions’ fourth straight, and it kept them in the lead of the NFC North.
The game was close throughout, with the Bears leading 13-10 at halftime. The Lions took the lead in the third quarter, but the Bears responded with a touchdown to take a 20-17 lead. The Lions then scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take a 31-20 lead. The Bears scored a late touchdown, but the Lions held on for the win.
The key play of the game came late in the fourth quarter when Montgomery ran for a five-yard touchdown to put the Lions up 31-20. Montgomery had been quiet for most of the game, but he made the most of his opportunity when it mattered most.
The win was a big one for the Lions, as it kept them in first place in the NFC North. The Lions have been on a roll lately, winning four straight games and five of their last six. They have been playing well on both sides of the ball, and they are looking like a team that could make a deep run in the playoffs.
The win was also important for Montgomery, who has been struggling this season. He had just three carries for 11 yards before his touchdown run, but his touchdown was a reminder of his potential as a playmaker.
The Lions will look to keep their winning streak alive next week when they face the Minnesota Vikings. It should be an exciting game, and the Lions will be looking to extend their lead in the NFC North.
