Lions Triumph Over Bears Amid Clock Management Controversy

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus and quarterback Caleb Williams defended their clock management decisions following a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. With 36 seconds left and a timeout remaining, Williams was sacked, leading to a 3rd-and-26 situation. Instead of using the timeout, Williams attempted a deep pass, which was incomplete, ending the game. Eberflus explained the strategy was to get closer for a field goal before using the timeout, but the plan didn't work out. The Lions improved to 11-1, while the Bears fell to 4-8.
