Notes: Bears go hard but blow girthy lead to Lions

The Chicago Bears had a 98.2% chance to beat the Detroit Lions with 4:15 left in the fourth quarter on Sunday, according to ESPN. It turns out the 1.8% ended up coming true.

After a strong start to the game, Chicago blew a 26-14 lead and ended up losing 31-26 at Ford Field, dropping their record to 3-8. The first 56 minutes of play looked very good for Matt Eberflus’ team, but as the Lions started playing with their backs against the wall and the Bears started playing with a big lead, things fell apart for them.
