Bears 24, Lions 16

Catching on—and a break

Officially, the Bears beamed like never before this season. Brian Urlacher had stood ready to lead the defense back onto the field with 52 seconds left in Sunday's 24-16 victory over the Detroit Lions when the Bears got the call for which they had waited seven games: one in their favor.

Bear With Us

Something's got to give in this one. Two 1-5 teams battle in a game each knows will be the easiest of the schedule. Good thing for the Bears, the Lions have dropped 143 straight on the road.
