Pride of Detroit
The Detroit Lions don’t have much of anything to play for. They’re obviously already out of playoff contention, and, in fact, they’ve already clinched last place in the NFC North—which does come with some 2026 perks.
A first-to-worst season is not what was expected nor what should be considered acceptable around these parts. But you don’t have to tell Lions coach Dan Campbell that. He already warned that changes are inevitable this upcoming offseason.
But the Lions aren’t quite ready to turn the page just yet. The team plans on playing their starters for the finale against the Chicago Bears, and they won’t go quietly into the night. The Bears are playing for the two seed over the three seed—and maybe a chance to get a quarterback to 4,000 yards in a season. We’ll recap it all right here.
This post will serve as a live-updating story on the game. When the Lions and Bears kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET, I will populate this story with drive-by-drive analysis, the biggest highlights of the game, score updates, and any sort of injury news that drops during the game. All you have to do is refresh the page occasionally and watch the updates come in.
Once the game is over, this will turn into our game recap, where you’ll be able to track all the biggest moments of the game, watch the full-game highlights, and share your thoughts on the contest in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
For the last time for the 2025 season… GO LIONS!
