The Bears’ offense continued to connect on their second possession of the second half, but they still have a lot of work to do if they want to have a chance at a comeback victory.

Keenan Allen caught his second touchdown pass of the second half with 13:40 to play and the Bears trail 23-13 after failing to convert on a two-point pass from Caleb Williams. Williams hit Rome Odunze and D’Andre Swift for big gains to enter Lions territory, and a defensive holding penalty kept the Bears out of a third-and-long situation later in the drive.

The Bears have now picked up nine first downs on their first two possessions of the second half. They only had two in the entire first half, which helped dig the hole they tried to climb out of in the final minutes.

That effort will be complicated by the absence of right tackle Darnell Wright, who was carted off before Allen reached the end zone.
