Sun-Times file

Before the Lions beat the Bears on Sunday in Soldier Field, something magical happened on the sideline.

“This is the season of miracles,” said Ben Roth, a longtime Lions fan, who happens to be a paramedic from Frisco, Texas.

Who just happened to be at the Bears-Lions game Sunday.

Who just happened to get some special field passes to go down on the sideline.

But he just happened to be in precisely the right spot, at the right time, to save somebody’s life.

“Miracles,” Roth said, his voice trailing off.
