As the clock wound down and the Bears tried to tie or win the game, it ended on an incomplete pass from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams as time expired. Eberflus allowed the clock to wind from 32 seconds to six between plays and left the game with one timeout unused.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus addressed the clock management that saw his team run one play — despite having a timeout in hand — in the final 36 seconds of a Thanksgiving 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions.
