Part 2/7:
Initial impressions from the game suggest that the Bears started strong, maintaining offensive momentum early on. However, this promising beginning quickly unraveled as the team succumbed to a series of costly mistakes. A sequence of three consecutive turnovers — including a fumble, a turnover on downs, and an interception by Caleb Williams — halted their progress and allowed the Lions to capitalize.
Commentators emphasized that these turnovers symbolized the team's inability to capitalize on opportunities and highlighted their tendency to self-sabotage. Every chance the Bears had to shift momentum or stay competitive seemed to be squandered by sloppy execution and poor decision-making.
