The Detroit Lions rolled past the Chicago Bears, 34-17, to reach their first 13-win season in franchise history.
Even without David Montgomery, the Lions continued to find their rhythm on offense. Detroit compiled 473 total yards, 27 first downs and 0.309 EPA per play and 12 explosive plays.
Caleb Williams (28-for-42, 336 passing yards, two big-time throws, zero turnover-worthy plays) had an encouraging outing, but Chicago's offense didn't function well outside of him. The Bears averaged only 3.3 yards and -0.592 EPA per carry and scored a touchdown on one of three red-zone possessions.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Campbell had a sound all-around display to catalyze a big showing from Detroit's banged up defense. The second-year linebacker allowed five catches for 51 yards in primary coverage but also added four stops in the passing game. In the run game, Campbell recorded another stop and didn't miss a tackle.
