Live updates: Lions lose ball again; Bears lead, 31-24

Bears pick off Stafford, take 31-24 lead over Lions

Just like that, the Bears now lead this thing.

That's what three consecutive turnovers will do for you.

After the Lions muffed the last two punts and lost them to the Bears, Chicago's Jonathan Anderson intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass at Detroit's 24-yard line.

The Lions defense -- which has played well, and a lot -- almost stopped the Bears, until Josh Bynes was called for holding on third-and-8.

Three plays later, Matt Forte scored a touchdown on a 2-yard run. This time, the Bears went for two -- and got it, when Cutler hit Forte in the left corner of the end zone.
