Alex Brown and Jim Miller. I'm Chris Bowden. 20 to 17, the Bears fall to 3 and 10 on the year,

0:16.5

with a loss in Detroit having to split the season series when it's all said and done.

0:20.8

And guys, another case, the Lions finding ways to finish, finding ways to win. with a loss in Detroit having to split the season series when it's all set and done.

0:25.3

And guys, another case, the Lions finding ways to finish, finding ways to win.

0:38.6

having that game within their grasp, but in the end, a couple of key penalties among 11 for 139, really denying them a victory today. Yeah, really unfortunate for them that they couldn't close it out. I mean,
