    Bears only got 10 points off of the 4 turnovers. They only moved the ball well twice the entire game (first drive and the turnover that resulted in a TD). Other than that they weren’t really moving the ball.

    Fields had lots of yards, but they weren’t at the times they needed them… Bears drives and results:

    First drive: 75 yards, TD First interception drive: 19 yards, Punt Second interception drive: -3 yards, fumble After Lions score drive: 62 yards, Field Goal After Lions score: -1 (end of half)

    After Lions punt: 50 yards, Field Goal After Lions fumble: 40 yards, TD Third interception: 20 yards, Field Goal After Lions punt: 70 yards, Field Goal After Lions TD: 1 yard, Punt After Lions TD: 0 yards, safety

    They were only able to get 76 yards and 10 points from the turnovers, despite being the best field position they got of all drives.

    Fields/Coaching continues to be afraid to throw the ball: 23 pass plays, 46 run plays.

    The Lions played super sloppy and had a bad showing on offense, but the Bears couldn’t capitalize, averaging only 2.5 points per turnover and even less per drive.

    If Goff is able to get back to his normal self, then in 2 weeks we won’t have a nearly similar score.

    Personally: If Vegas is lowering the spread or even putting the bears as winners next meeting, I’m taking the challenge on it.

      They were only able to get 76 yards and 10 points from the turnovers, despite being the best field position they got of all drives.

      As I see it, our defense allowed one bad touchdown on the first drive. The second touchdown was on a short field after the Craig Reynolds kick return fumble. Otherwise they allowed four field goals.

      Allowing field goals now and then is OK because IMHO no team is going to come out and kick the Lions to death.

      That 26 points number looks a little ugly, but IMHO our defense is an unsung hero in this one.
