Miscommunication leading to big plays has been a problem for the Lions' defense this season.
Any defensive coordinator will say that one blown coverage is too many, and the Lions (1-3) have had multiple breakdowns through the first four games.
Another came Sunday in Chicago late in the third quarter, with the Lions trailing 7-6.
The Bears were facing a 3rd and 5 from the Lions 6-yard line and came out in a shotgun three receiver set with receivers Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal to the left and receiver Cameron Meredith split wide right.
