The Detroit Lions have fell to 4-7 on the season with a 23-16 loss to the Chicago Bears. Here are a few things we learned in the Turkey day loss:
Undrafted free agent Mike Ford got his first taste of NFL action four days ago in the Lions win against the Carolina Panthers. While he did not impress last week, he did do enough to earn more playing time on Thanksgiving.
He looked a lot better against the Bears. While he did get beat underneath a few times, he kept everything in front of him, he did not miss any easy tackles, and never got scorched by Chicago’s speedy receivers.
