Classic game tale of two halves. First half viewing portended a second half lopsided ending. Not to be however. Lion’s inability to ‘slam the door shut’ allowed Bears to claw their way back crowned with a comical but heart wrenching farce of game clock management.

Lion’s lack of Bear’s quarterback containment coupled with an asinine, childish, churlish school-yard display by J. Williams almost produced a stunning upset. However, not to be outdone the Bears ‘fumbled’ clock management preventing the possibility of an overtime extension. Almost right out of the ole Lion’s classic playbook.

Detroit’s rushing stats were a bright light in an otherwise ho-hum performance. Settling for field goals as touchdown replacements are generally fatal to a positive outcome.

Going forward, resurrection of ‘walking wounded’ and performance of their backups are keys to reaching deep into potential playoff success.
