Lions were lucky to survive Bears with help from Eberflus’ gift

The Detroit Lions survived. 

That’s the only way to describe their 23-20 win over the lowly Chicago Bears on Thursday. 

Actually, time out. On second thought, there is one other way to describe their victory: They got lucky. 

After he delivered his victory speech in the locker room, Lions coach Dan Campbell should have awarded a game ball to Bears coach (for now) Matt Eberflus for forgetting how timeouts work and gift-wrapping the win. Maybe Eberflus was already in Black Friday mode.
