Still scoreless Matthew Stafford threw an interception, picked of by Callahan in Detroit territory. As the Bears looked to put more points on the board the Lions frustration showed as a personal foul was called on Jarrad Davis as he gave a scrambling Trubisky a push about 5 yards outside of the sideline. This put the Bears inside the 10. Trubisky was able to get the last laugh as he finished the drive with a rushing TD of his own. Lions 0 – Bears 26
