Bears vs. Lions final score takeaways Ch

[sdfsdf]

It’s been just three days since the Chiefs and Rams combined for 105 points but after sitting through the first quarter of this, shall we say, defensive struggle between the Bears Ken Boyer Jersey and Lions, it feels more like three months. Either way, 17 seconds into the second quarter we finally got something resembling football. Lions cornerback DeShawn Shead forced a Trey Burton fumble and linebacker Jarrad Davis recovered: Shoutout to with the quick hands. Detroit Lions (@Lions) And nine plays later, LeGarrette Blount blasted his way into the end zone for the first time since Week 7 — and for the first points in this Thanksgiving Day get-together. Fight through, . FIGHT THROUGH! Detroit Lions (@Lions) It was the first time the Bears had trailed in five games, which includes the Week 10 meeting between these two teams when Chicago jumped out to a 26-0 lead before cruising to a 34-22 victory. By halftime, the Bears had taken a 9-7 lead. This is noteworthy because they’ve had a second-half lead in every game this year. More NFL So naturally, you might imagine that would be the Lions’ cue to fold up shop. Just the opposite, it turns out. And it’s worth noting that Detroit’s offense was without Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones. In their places, the aforementioned Blount and second-year wide receiver Kenny Golladay picked up the slack. On the Lions’ first drive of the second half, Matthew Stafford finally got going, and hit Golladay on a 43-yard pa s: A couple things: Golladay is one of the best young pa s catchers in the league. And THAT’S LINEBACKER ROQUAN SMITH running down Golladay in the open field. Stafford finds for the 43-yard connection. Detroit Lions (@Lions) Four plays later, Blount scored a vintage Blount touchdown to give the Lions a 13-9 lead. All gravy for .His SECOND end zone trip today! on CBS NFL (@NFL) In related news: By scoring that rushing touchdown, his fifth of the season, LeGarrette Blount just earned a $350,000 incentive. A Happy Willie McGee Jersey Thanksgiving. Field Yates (@FieldYates) For reasons that aren’t immediately apparent, first-year coach Matt Patricia decided to go for two after the Blount score. The attempt failed, so instead of kicking the extra point and making it 14-9, the lead remained four points. (Seriously, what’s the thinking here? What advantage is there going up by six instead of four? The Bears still need a touchdown to take the lead.) The Bears defense, which is the NFL’s best according to conventional or advanced stats, finally took over the game midway the fourth quarter. Stafford threw back-to-back interceptions on the team’s final two po se sions and the Bears prevailed, 23-16, to end an eight-game divisional road losing streak. Chicago is 8-3 on the season. Let that sink in. Eddie Jackson is very good at his job The Bears’ defense is for real. It’s exactly what a young (or veteran backup, in the case of Chase Daniel) quarterback needs on a team that’s looking to make a deep playoff run. After a stalled Chicago drive midway through the fourth quarter and with the scored tied, 16-16, safety Eddie Jackson decided it was time for him to make an Carlos Martinez Jersey appearance. . you can have our turkey. Just take it. | Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) Jackson materialized out of nowhere to pick off that pa s and take it to the house. As a rookie, Jackson had two interceptions, a forced fumble, three recovered fumbles and two defensive touchdowns, but as noted last week, he managed those numbers in just three of his 16 games. This season, Jackson now has four picks to go along with two forced fumbles, a recovered fumble and three defensive touchdowns. For some perspective: Eddie Jacksons 41-yard INT return TD is his 5th career defensive TD: Most in the NFL since 2015(Jackson was drafted in 2017) More defensive TD than 21 teams since 2017 NFL Research (@NFLResearch) Bears offense was just fine with Chase Daniel Daniel went undrafted out of Mi souri in 2009, even though he was considered one of the best quarterbacks in college football. The i sue: His size; Daniel is listed at 6-0, 225 pounds and there are few examples of short quarterbacks having succe s in the NFL. It makes some sense that the Saints signed him after he failed to make the Redskins’ roster ahead of the ’09 season. He spent three seasons behind Drew Brees in New Orleans where he never started a game and threw a grand total of nine pa ses (seven were completions). He then spent three seasons in Kansas City, where Nagy also served as the quarterbacks coach. After one-year stints with the Eagles, and a return to New Orleans, in the offseason Daniel signed a two-year, $10 million deal to rejoin Nagy in Chicago. And just like the previous eight NFL seasons, Daniel, who came into Thursday’s game 51 of 78 in his career with a touchdown and an interception, was pegged to be the backup, this time behind Mitchell Lance Lynn Jersey Trubisky. But Trubisky’s out with a right shoulder injury and Daniel made his third-ever profe sional start. It was fair to wonder what he might look like given that he last saw meaningful action in a 2013 game for the Chiefs, and hasn’t played consistently in almost a decade. Not surprisingly, Daniel started slow. The Bears’ first three series ended punt, punt, fumble. But on po se sion No. 4, we saw signs of life from Daniel and the offense. He hit Allen Robinson on a , and he Tarik Cohen on a wheel route that would’ve been an easy touchdown, forcing Chicago to settle for a field goal. A series later, Daniel looked even better. There was a 26-yarder to Anthony Miller to get deep into Lions territory: . to .Carving ‘em up. on Kolten Wong Jersey CBS NFL (@NFL) Two plays after that, great throw from Daniel to Taquon Mizzell to give the Bears a 9-7 lead just before half.

It was also Mizzell’s first-ever touchdown reception. There was only about 15 minutes of game time before Daniel threw his third career touchdown, this time he hit Cohen in stride for an easy six. . touchdown. nap!Must be that tryptophan. on CBS NFL (@NFL) But much like Trubisky, Daniel was the beneficiary of this Bears’ defense. There was that Eddie Jackson pick-six to give Chicago the lead, and then, with the Lions in the red zone looking to tie the game with just over a minute to go, Kyle Fuller decided it was his time to shine.

As for Daniel, who finished 27 of 37 for 230 yards with two touchdowns, no turnovers and a pa ser rating of 106.8, about turning to his backup. “This is why you have a guy like Chase,” he said this week, via NBCSports.com. “You feel very comfortable with him.
