What's being stated across the country after winless Detroit Lions lose at the horn to Bears on Thanksgiving.
The Detroit Lions (0-10-1) shed at the buzzer on a basket for the third time this season, this moment to the Chicago Bears in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving in Week 12.
Detroit took a late lead, after that viewed its protection fall short to leave the area, enabling an 18-play drive to eat the last eight-plus minutes off the clock, all while finding a brand-new means to meltdown. The Bears kicked a 28-yard basket as time ended, transferring to 4-7 on the year with the 16-14 win. The Lions called a timeout inside the red area, then came out of the break looking perplexed, so they called one more timeout.
The only problem keeping that is that it protests NFL regulations, making that third-and-9 effort a third-and-4 while shedding two of their 3 last timeouts without an additional breeze occurring. Bears quarterback Andy Dalton kneeled 3 times, taking it to one 2nd left on the clock for the last kick. Bears twist Cairo Santos did his task this time around after missing out on badly from 50-plus lawns earlier in the video game, which was that.
" I really did not even recognize what the flag was on the timeout," Lions cornerback Amani Oruwariye said. "I was like, 'I thought we called a timeout. What occurred?' What's the guideline?".

Lions instructor Dan Campbell claimed half the additional was playing one phone call. The other half was playing another thing, so he took a timeout. When asked what his alternatives were instead of calling a 2nd timeout before the breeze, he said: "Stand there and watch them score, I presume. Score a goal. However no, it's-- anyway.".
Outside of another strange last-second closing, it was even more of the same for the Lions in this loss. The playcalling went ultra-conservative while unforced mistakes piled up quickly. It's worth noting the Lions lost D'Andre Swift to a shoulder strain, with the running back placing the infraction on his back these last couple of weeks. Swift experienced a shoulder injury in the incorporate Pittsburgh, with Campbell validating it coincided side in Thursday's loss.
" Protection played their asses off. Obtained them out of the end zone, really they did," Campbell claimed. "Which's back to back-- back to back to back video games-- where our protection has truly stepped up, getting turnovers. I was proud of the way they all played today. I assumed they played hard. Yet the blunders eliminated us, specifically offensively.".
