The Chicago Bears are still licking their wounds after another blown opportunity at a victory in Week 11.

The Chicago Bears were on the verge of pulling off a surprise win at Detroit. They let it all slip away, blowing a 12-point lead in the final three minutes.

After a 31-26 loss to the contending Lions in which the Bears looked like an actual good team before imploding in the final 4:15, games against the Vikings and Lions will define the direction of the Bears under Eberflus. “We’re gonna find out who we are this week,” linebacker T.J. Edwards said.

From the good (special teams, Justin Fields) to the bad (running backs) and everything in between.

Patrick was initially injured while chasing down Lions safety Tracy Walker, who had recovered an apparent fumble on a play in which Cole Kmet already had been ruled down. The Bears will turn the play in to the league office for review.

The Chicago Bears were rolling along with a 12-point lead at Detroit and just minutes away from a signature win. The Bears gave up 17 points in the final three minutes and lost 31-26 to the Lions on Sunday. There was plenty to dissect a day after the Bears blew a 26-14 lead, from the failure to take advantage of some early turnovers to the play-calling down the stretch on both sides of the ball.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will be back in action Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

The NFC North-leading Detroit Lions host Chicago on Sunday, aiming to keep at least a two-game lead in the division over Minnesota. Detroit hasn’t won a division title since 1993.

Cody Whitehair has been in the starting lineup for 117 straight games with the Bears. Hes shifting to the bench on Sunday, with his long-term status uncertain.

For the first time since being drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2016, offensive lineman Cody Whitehair will be healthy and not on the starting line.
