Lions 16 vs 19 Bears live online: stats, scores and highlights | NFL Week 18 2025

Update:

Week 18 closes with a rivalry that now carries very different weight for each side, as the Chicago Bears host the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field. Chicago has already completed a stunning turnaround under Ben Johnson, but seeding, momentum, and history are still on the line.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is chasing a franchise-defining milestone and the Bears can secure the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a win. Detroit arrives wounded and eliminated, yet motivated to spoil a division rival’s celebration behind Jared Goff, who torched Chicago earlier this season. With playoff positioning, pride, and records at stake, this finale feels anything but routine.
