- Ndamukong Suh and DeAndre Levy with a huge play to keep the Bears out of the end zone. Both might find themselves as teammates again, in the Pro Bowl.
- Rashean Mathis is playing another really good game for the Lions today, but the Bears are clearly looking to pick on Darius Slay any time possible. The Lions are trying to help him as much as possible with a safety. You can clearly see the Lions' miss both Ziggy Ansah's pass rushing skills and Bill Bentley at nickel back today.
- The Lions; offense is explosive, but it hasn't been on the field much today. The Bears are doing a good job of time possession. The Lions being turned away on fourth-and-one hurt. Horrible play call.
- The first half of this game was a little tepid, but the second half will present a lot more emotion. It's like each team is feeling out the other like a heavyweight fight. Should be great stuff.
