Hot questions: Heartbreaks and heartburn for the Detroit Lions caused by too much Chase Daniel and two interceptions of too much by Matthew Stafford late in the game resulted in a 23-16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field.
Question: What were the key factors in the game and what does it mean for Lions for the rest of the season?
Reply: The key factor was the game of quarterbacks. Backup Chase Daniel threw two touchdown passes and made no major mistakes, while Matthew Stafford had no touchdown passes and two decisive interceptions.
Bottom line: Lions can forget all hope of participating in the playoffs. They have a 4-7 win-loss record, while the Bears have taken a better hold on NFC North's first place by winning their fifth straight game to reach 8-3.
The Bears beat the Lions twice in 12 days, and it was not by chance. They are the best team. there is no doubt.
Q. Stafford: Is he to blame for losing the game?
A. It was not entirely his fault, but with the ball in his hand at a critical time, he had two interceptions on the last two possessions.
The first was scored by a 41-yard touchdown by Eddie Jackson to break the tie and give the Bears a 23-16 lead – ultimately, the final score.
The second took place when the Lions drove to the 12 Bears with a first try and two minutes.
Stafford attempted to hit Michael Roberts in the end zone, third and ninth. The pass was not close to Roberts. Kyle Fuller completed the interception that ended the training, won the game and the Lions are now considering the dark prospect of playing in the last five games without any legitimate chance to play in the playoffs.

Q. Quelle a été la plus grande surprise du jeu?
UNE. "Surprise" n'est pas le bon mot. Cela devrait être la plus grande déception, et c’est ainsi que Daniel a réussi à rester sous contrôle et à jouer en lui-même pour gagner un gros match contre lui, notamment son manque de temps de jeu, plus à jouer sur la route contre une équipe Lions. c'était désespéré pour gagner.
Il y a eu beaucoup de hauts et de bas dans le jeu, mais à la fin ce sont les Bears qui se sont levés et les Lions aussi bas que possible.
Q. Bears TD, lead: Ce qui a caractérisé l’attaque des Bears vers un touché avec 40 secondes à faire en première demie leur a donné une avance de 9-7.
UNE. C’est ainsi qu’ils mettaient la balle dans les mains de Daniel, lui donnant la liberté de lancer tous les buts. Il s’agissait d’un lecteur de cinq jeux qui couvrait une distance de 65 verges. Tous les cinq étaient des passes.
Aucun des receveurs des Bears n’a été sérieusement mis au défi. Et Daniel a joué comme s’il avait été un partant pour les neuf saisons de sa carrière sur les alignements actifs de la NFL au lieu d’un remplaçant de carrière qui n’avait donné qu’un seul laissez-passer en TD avant le match de jeudi.
C’était une impressionnante démonstration d’appel et d’exécution de la part des Bears, et tout au contraire pour les Lions, qui n’ont pas réussi à arrêter l’entraînement.
Q. Le DT des Lions, 13-9, mène: Qu'est-ce qui a permis à l'attaque des Lions de sortir de son marasme au troisième quart lorsque LeGarrette Blount a bouclé une course de 80 verges avec son deuxième touché au but?
UNE. Blount a porté quatre fois en six parties, mais deux grands lancers de Matthew Stafford ont contribué à assouplir la défense des Bears. Il ne l’avait pas fait jusqu’à présent. Kenny Golladay avait une attrape de 43 verges au deuxième jeu de la possession, et Theo Riddick en avait un pour 17 verges pour se classer premier et le but à huit.
Blount a ramené le ballon à la maison avec deux gains consécutifs de quatre verges, mais la menace de la passe ne pouvait être écartée.
Q. Deux pour deux: bon appel des deux équipes lorsqu'elles ont opté pour une conversion en deux points? Les deux ont échoué.
UNE. Ce n’est pas ce que j’aurais fait sur l’un ou l’autre – les Bears sur leur TD qui ont porté le score à 9-7, et les Lions sur le deuxième TD à Blount qui ont inscrit le 13-9.
Q. Quatrième et coup de pied: Le bon choix est-il d’aller chercher l’objectif du match au quatrième et un but à la ligne des deux verges des Bears pour égaliser le score au quatrième quart?
UNE. Yes. C’est ce que j’aurais fait. Cela a fait 16-16, avec 7:44 à gauche dans la réglementation. Matt Prater a été automatique sur le terrain de 20 verges. Cependant, cela indiquait pourquoi je n’aurais pas choisi deux points après le deuxième TD de Blount.
Q. Quin's hit, flag: Glover Quin a été marqué pour un coup illégal sur Daniel au premier trimestre. C'était les deuxième et 13e et Quin a frappé Daniel lors d'une course. Bon appel par les fonctionnaires?
UNE. Bon appel, sans doute. Daniel glissait les pieds en premier et Quin le frappa avec son épaule. Les arbitres n’appellent pas de pénalité pour ce type de jeu à chaque fois, mais ils le font le plus souvent. C'était un jeu plus souvent.
Q. Quatrième et allez: Est-ce exact de demander au quatrième entraîneur et à l'entraîneur-chef Matt Patricia de tenter le coup au lieu d'essayer de marquer?
UNE. Yes. Bon appel, même si LeGarrette Blount avait été arrêté au troisième et un autre jeu précédent. Même si les Lions avaient échoué – ce qu’ils ont failli faire -, les Bears auraient obligé les Bears à parcourir toute la longueur du terrain pour marquer après un arrêt.
Q. Quatrième et bonne chance: Les Lions ont passé au lieu de courir et l’arrière Nick Bellore a capté la passe déviée pour un premier essai. Était-ce un rebond chanceux pour les Lions?
UNE. Yes. C’était une chance que le ballon revienne à un endroit où Bellore pourrait l’attraper, mais ce n’était pas par hasard que Bellore était prêt à jouer. C’est le genre de jeu qu’il a joué tout au long de sa carrière. Il est un acteur dont le jeu dépasse les attentes de son rôle.
C’était bien que les Lions aient eu un peu de chance, mais la façon dont le match s’est achevé fait qu’ils n’ont plus besoin de chance. Ils sont au stade miracle.
