Chicago, IL
2-PT FAIL
The Bears scored too fast a touchdown on their opening drive, but the Lions responded with one of their own, slowly and steadily driving for a seven to seven tie.
That score held until the Bears were poised to break it to end the first half. Instead, Jay Cutler was picked off in the end zone. 7-7 halftime.
The Lions started the second half with a bang, marching the length of the field for a Calvin Johnson catch. 14-7 Lions was the score for long time. The Bears added two field goals to come within one, 14-13.
With the clock winding down, those crazy Lions elected to pass instead of wind down the clock: TOUCHDOWN MEGATRON.
FUCKING A.
21-13 Detroit leads and gives the Bears backup QB the ball with one timeout and the two minute warning to spare. Just over two minutes on the clock.
The mother fucker marched the length of the field with 40 ticks left and punched it in. As I write this it’s scaring the shit out of me. Fuck.
The Bears trail 21-19 and go for two. They miss! I celebrate too soon, as the Lions take a personal foul penalty.
Chicago runs in up the middle and meets Chris Fairley for the stuff. BALL GAME.
….1st place!!!….. Lions overcame their own mistakes to realize that they are a damn good football team …… coaches beware!……….young snarf is right about the clock in the fourth quarter, if you coaches can’t do your math then don’t bother to apply for the 21st century NFL………..the Bears never should have touched the ball again……Megatron bailed this team out with a key first down grab and the touchdown catch………. but this is where we need to run the ball and keep possession…. especially when the weather gets cold……so let’s beat em’ up for 3 quarters and then put them away in the fourth for good!
