The Detroit Lions, once again, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Their offense left the field with 8:41 left in the game and a 14-13 lead over the Chicago Bears. What followed was a comedy of errors both from the Lions' defense and from the coaching staff that resulted in a Bears game-winning drive that bled every single second off that clock.
But that was far from the only reason the Lions lost that game. There were disappointing performances abound, and that spoiled what appeared to be some actual progress being made on both sides of the ball.
