Bears' worst players in Week 16 loss vs. Lions, per PFF

The Chicago Bears (4-11) suffered a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions (13-2) in Week 16, which marked Chicago's ninth straight loss.

The Bears strung together another uninspired performance where they were outcoached, outplayed and continued to make the self-inflicted mistakes that have defined their 2024 season since that fateful Hail Mary loss in Week 8. Chicago's offense strung together four miserable drives to start the game before Caleb Williams and co. finally found a rhythm with back-to-back touchdown drives in the second quarter. Unfortunately, they wouldn't score another touchdown. Meanwhile, the defense was abysmal, including allowing an 82-yard touchdown, allowing 30-plus points in their third straight game.
