But that's just it.... we are used to losing, we should be immune to that emotion by now. What we are not used to is winning, so be thankful for the win and recognize the positives.
They were a -3 in turnovers until Bears final desperation play on offense, so essentially -3 in TO is what they were for the game. Every Lions TO had an impact on score, whether by Bears scoring or Lions not scoring. They had a personal foul late in the 3rd quarter that resulted in a Bears TD for the lead. They were only 5 of 13 on 3rd down, and had to twice convert on 4th down to sustain drives. Patter missed a FG that could have been a deciding miss and Lions loss.
Bears had their share of mistakes too, but how many games have Lions won with a -3 TO stat? How many times do the SOL lose games like this. Toss in the cold game losing streak on top of that.
This team is different, and this VICTORY proves that even better than a 70-0 blowout could have, because the Bears have had many problems of late and everyone would have just said 'yeah, but it was the Bears'. Today, they defeated their usually worst enemy, themselves.
