Live updates: Lions fumble; Bears cut it to 21-16

Lions' fumble leads to Bears' points

The Lions defense limited the Bears to three points -- three points, of course, courtesy of the Lions special-teams unit.

Lions punt returner TJ Jones fumbled a punt at Detroit's 19-yard line, and it was recovered by Bears wide receiver Josh Bellamy.

It could've been a huge blow for Detroit, but again the defense held the Bears in check -- they went negative-1 yard on the drive and had to settle for a field goal by Robbie Gould.

That makes it 21-16 Lions with about 5 minutes left in the third quarter.
