Bears Vs Lions Final Score: Bears Fall to Lions, 40-32

I don't think anybody was expecting that to happen.

The first quarter was pretty tame, as the Bears and Lions each scored a field goal to end the first tied at 3-3. Then, things went sour, quickly.

After Matt Forte took off on a 53-yard scamper to take a 10-6 lead, the Lions kicked a field goal, Matthew Stafford had a fumble forced but snagged it out of the air for a touchdown, Calvin Johnson hauled in a touchdown on a short two-yard drive set up by a Bears' turnover, and Reggie Bush drove in a 37-yard touchdown run, and the Lions were officially off and running.

The Bears offense just didn't get consistently on track, as Jay Cutler threw three interceptions and a pair of touchdowns as the game was out of reach. The Bears tried to get back into the game with a fourth-quarter rally, but it just wasn't enough.

The important thing to remember is that it's a division loss, and it hurts because it gives the Lions the lead in the NFC North with the Bears and Lions tied at 3-1, but the Bears get another chance at Soldier Field later in the year to get a win against this team.
