But its amazing that they played so well against the Lions. milestogo Nov 2023 #3

It was mostly Fields. The Lions just had no answer for him for most of the game. Xavier Breath Nov 2023 #5

Glad to hear Fields had a decent game. milestogo Nov 2023 #6

They tried to run down the clock too early, bad play calls. Were 3 pts down with 30+ seconds to go, Fields lost the ball, wich went thru end zone for a safety. Shitty coaching IMHO.

with three of those being Goff throwing a pick. Also, it seemed like every time the Detroit defense made a third down stop, the zebras threw laundry. Still, with just a few minutes remaining and the score 23-14 Chicago, Goff threw a long TD. Chicago got the ball back but was forced to punt, and Detroit promptly scored another TD to make it 23-29 (on one of those two TDs they went for two and were successful. Then, with under a minute remaining and deep in Chicago territory, Fields was hit and fumbled the ball and a Chicago lineman kicked it out of the back of the end zone for a safety to make the final score 23-31.

It was a damned exciting finish, unless you're a Bears fan
