The Lions needed some last-minute heroics to avoid an upset against the Bears on Sunday. And they got them, thanks to quarterback Matthew Stafford’s seven-yard touchdown scramble with time running out in the fourth quarter.

Detroit’s 20-17 win in Week 14 puts the Lions two games ahead of the Vikings and Packers in the NFC North, and it’s a great position to be in down the stretch.

Especially considering the Lions have the Giants, Cowboys and Packers on their schedule in Weeks 15 through 17, respectively.
