The Detroit Lions turned a here-we-go-again loss into a new-look win.
Jon Kitna threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter when the Lions scored an NFL-record 34 points, and Detroit overcame mistakes and missed opportunities to beat the Chicago Bears 37-27 Sunday.
Brian Griese, who had three interceptions as a starter in place of Rex Grossman, threw a 1-yard pass to Desmond Clark on fourth down with 52 seconds left to pull the Bears within three points.
However, the onside kick bounced to Detroit’s Casey Fitzsimmons, who returned it for a TD to seal the victory.
It was the kind of game Detroit used to lose as the league’s laughingstock, but these might not be the same-old Lions, who are 3-1 for the first time since 2004.
