The Lions played hard for interim head coach Darrell Bevell.

Bevell, who replaced the fired Matt Patricia and said he hopes he’s getting a five-game audition to be the Lions’ permanent head coach, got the most out of his team as the Lions fell behind early but came back to win 34-30.

The Lions’ comeback was aided by a strip-sack on Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky which set up Adrian Peterson‘s go-ahead touchdown in the final minute. That play by Trubisky epitomized his disappointing tenure in Chicago and dropped the Bears to 5-7, essentially ending any hopes they had of a late playoff run.

The Lions improve to 5-7, and they’re not going anywhere near the postseason either. But they looked like a more motivated, more organized team under Bevell than they looked under Patricia. Now Bevell has four more games to audition for the top job.
