Lions led 14-10 over halfway through Q3. Bears driving, Lions make a stop on 3rd and 15 and should have gotten the ball back. Instead the refs throw one of the most comical flags I’ve seen this year; the illegal contact call on Branch (completely away from the ball/play where almost no contact even happened).

Bears continue the drive, get 3 pts. They kickoff, we fumble it right back to them in Lions territory, they score another 7.

Such as life in the NFL, but crazy to think how that entire 10-pt sequence only happened because of a horeshit flag. Without it, we don’t know exactly what would have happened, but we know that the game script takes a completely different trajectory
