Lions win ugly after blowing a 21 point lead. But no matter how ugly, it counts as a win.

Offensive MVP: Sam LaPorta with a career day, 9 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. When we needed it, he was there. It was a very St Brown like performance.

Defensive MVP: No one. Blow a 21 point lead and let the Saints bully us all over the field.

Every team goes through a funk during the year, and we're definitely in one. To their credit, we only dropped one game in this funk so far. Goff eliminated the INTs today, but he was still off. Our line can't hold blocks long enough to let Goff go for the longer throws. There were a couple of times late in the game when Jamo was running wide open deep, but Goff had to run for his life. Our running game didn't exactly tear it up either. We find a way to get the O-line cranked back up, and I think we'll be fine. Until then, it's going to be rough.

Our defense is pulling a reverse of last year. They were terrible at the beginning (1-6) then came on in the back end. This year we started strong, but now are in free fall. Hutch didn't sniff the QB all game.

Lions with the comeback, last minute win!!!

I gotta admit, I thought it was over and a loss. Holy cow, that was a great comeback win.

Offensive MVP: David Montgomery - 76 yards on 12 carries (6.3 ypc) plus a couple of catches. Got the game winning touchdown.

Defensive MVP: Alex Anzalone. 11 tackles with 4 assists. Just steady all game.

Honestly, no one deserves an MVP. We got seriously outplayed for 57 minutes of this game, and the Bears might have had 57 minutes of possession. (It was actually 40m, 24s). But we gutted out a win when we absolutely played like crap on both sides of the ball.

Hutch with the strip-sack for a safety to seal the game, but he's been too quiet for 4 games now. When I watch him run, he looks injured, but he's always run like he's doing the Humpty Dance. So I don't know, but he's been successfully blocked one on one WAY too much.
