For several seconds after the football dropped in front of Rome Odunze on Thursday at Ford Field, Chicago Bears players stood rooted to the turf in stunned disbelief. The Bears were down by three at the Detroit Lions’ 41-yard line and had 32 seconds left in the game to try to move closer to set up kicker Cairo Santos for a tying field goal.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus addressed the clock management that saw his team run one play — despite having a timeout in hand — in the final 36 seconds of a Thanksgiving 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Lions should be thankful Matt Eberflus forgot how timeouts work in their 23-20 win over Chicago, which reminded them they can't waste chances.
