Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast.

I'm Joe Kanya with me, as always, is Eric Schlett from pride of Detroit.com.

Eric, Lions coming off of a Thanksgiving Day disaster.

I lost 16 to 14 of the Chicago Bears, Bears kick a walkoff field goal to end it.

They also held the ball for the last eight and a half minutes of the game.

We're going to dig into all that.

Did this one, this was a close game where they were leading going into the last possession.
