A holding penalty cut short another Chicago appearance on the Lions side of the field, forcing the Bears to punt the ball back to the Lions, who took over at their own 34.
The offense, however, couldn't do anything with the good field position. They went three-and-out for the third time today and have just one first down on their first four possessions.
