Late in the first half of the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day loss, fans were treated to some deja vu. NOT ANOTHER PICKED UP PASS INTERFERENCE FLAG?
Yes, I’m afraid it is.
On a second-quarter play, Bears quarterback Chase Daniel found Taquan Mizzell Sr. for a 10-yard score, putting the Bears up 9-7 before the end of the half.
But there was a flag on the play. Bears receiver Allen Robinson (top of the screen lined up on the line of scrimmage) had impeded the route of Lions linebacker Christian Jones, who was in man coverage with Mizzell.
