Game 3 Nitty Grittys

Game 3 presents an interesting challenge for the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals. This game has all of the feel of a trap game, because the Detroit Lions are coming off two NFC Central divisional losses to the Bears 27-23 and to the Packers 42-21.

The Lions jumped out to early leads in both games and they pretty much had the game in hand versus the Bears until usually reliable K Matt Prater missed a FG that would have put the Lions up 26-13 with 4:23 left in the 4th quarter. Also, thanks in part to a key interception by Kyle Fuller, the Bears scored two TDs in the final 4 minutes to squeeze out the win.
