- That last run puts Montgomery over 1,000 on the season. It marks the first time since 2014 that Chicago has produced both a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season (Alshon Jeffery, 1,133 and Matt Forte, 1,038).
- Jakeem Grant Sr.'s 97-yard punt return is the longest punt return for a touchdown by a Bears player dating back to 1960.
- Mitchell Trubisky just became the sixth QB in #Bears history to throw for 3,000 in a season, joining Erik Kramer, Jay Cutler, Rex Grossman, Billy Wade and Jim Harbaugh.
- #Bears injury update: We have downgraded QB Andy Dalton (knee) to Doubtful for Sunday’s game. QB Justin Fields will start vs. the Lions.
- With that last completion, Mitch Trubisky just became the fastest #Bears QB to eclipse 10,000 career passing yards and 1,000 yards rushing (49 games). Mitch Trubisky - 49 games Jim McMahon - 58 games Jim Harbaugh - 77 games
- 18 completions now for Trubisky, the most in a first half in his career.
- #Bears Roster Move: Released OL Nate Davis.
- The #Bears are the first team since the 2006 Ravens to record 45+ sacks and 25+ INTs in a season. They’re the third Bears defense to achieve these numbers since sacks became an official stat in 1982, joining the '85 (64 sacks, 34 INTs) & '86 (62 sacks, 31 INTs) teams.
- 17.0 sacks now for Robert Quinn, tying him for second overall in #Bears single-season history with Richard Dent’s 17.0 sack performance in 1985. Record is 17.5 by Dent in 1984, One more by Quinn will break the record.
