GOOD EVENING FROM Laynes View Sports Page!!! WE ARE SHUT DOWN FOR THE EVENING IN SOUTHERN INDIANA: How was your weekend? Did you happen to catch the DETROIT LIONS game yesterday afternoon from SOLDIER FIELD in CHICAGO! DA BEARS, and LIONS battled long, and hard for 4 quarters. Game had every meaning of a playoff game, as both teams started the day with a 3 way tie for the NFC CENTRAL DIVISION. 3rd team of that tie, GREEN BAY PACKERS, was playing host to the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. EAGLES won the game with the PACKERS playing without star quarterback AARON RODGERS. LAMBEAU FIELD crowd went home in disappointment, hoping thier season does not blow up, while RODGERS mends from a partial broken collar bone. EAGLES victory over the PACKERS, gives the EAGLES a 5-5 record on the season, while the PACKERS tumble to 5-4, EAGLES gain a first place tie in thier division with the DALLAS COWBOYS who fell to the surging NEW ORLEANS SAINTS, COWBOYS record also stands at 5-5. While the final score of the PACKERS loss flashed upon the SOLDIER FIELD score board, BEARS , and LIONS then realizing the winner of thier game would gain sole control of the CENTRAL DIVISION. While the loser fell into a second place tie with those PACKERS. DETROIT LIONS looked at certian defeat a couple times with the pesky BEARS. Somthing new to these DETROIT LIONS this season has been thier no loss attitude, they never give up, and battle to the very end of each game. Late in the 4th quarter, LIONS were up 21-13, BEARS were driving down the field, BEARS drive turned into a touchdown. BEARS down 21-19, DA BEARS decide to go for 2 points to tie the game. LIONS held the BEARS out of the end zone, but a flag was thrown on the play, WILLIE YOUNG of the LIONS was called for a personal foul. So frustrating thinking the LIONS had just held the BEARS, now the BEARS would be given a second chance for 2 points, and a possible tie. DEFENSIVE TACKLE NICK FAIRLEY on the replay shot off the defensive line , and shut FORTE, BEARS running back down. DETROIT maintained thier slight 2 point lead, everyone realizing a BEARS side kick was in order on the preceeding kickoff, DETROIT LIONS sent in the hands team to recieve the ball. BEARS kicked the ball up the middle of the LIONS return team, LIONS running back JOIQUE BELL covered the ball with dear life, to put the the victory in the LIONS win column. DETROIT LIONS 6-3 took over sole position of the NFC NORTH DIVISION while the BEARS slipped to 5-4, and tied for second with the PACKERS. DETROIT LIONS had won another close game, been quite sometime that these LIONS have set upon first place in NFC NORTH this late in the season. The difference with the 2013 DETROIT LIONS, and LIONS of the terrible past years? These LIONS just never give up, they are finishing games, where in the past they found ways to lose. MATHEW STAFFORD struggled most of the game with his passing, several incompleted passes, erratic. STAFFORD made due when importance meant the most, winning play of the game, STAFFORD floated a pass into the left corner of the end zone where high jumping CALVIN JOHNSON corraled in the pass. The winning touchdown pass to CALVIN JOHNSON was JOHNSONS second of the day. Solid performances in the LIONS big victory were turned in by the entire offensive line, kept STAFFORD from be sacked, and gave STAFFORD plenty of time to set up in the pocket, BRANDON PETTIGREW continues to impress after a slow start to the season, always steady, and the courages CALVIN JOHNSON, REGGIE BUSH continues his fine season rushing and pass catching, DEANDRE LEVY continues to impress in pass coverage on the defensive side of the ball, LEVY intercepted his 4th of the season. NADAMKONG SUH continued his all pro season, disrupting the BEARS OFFENSIVE LINE, NICK FAIRLEY stepped up when needed, especially shutting down the BEARS 2 point conversion, that secured the LIONS victory. DETROIT LIONS travel next weekend to tangle with the PITTSBURGH STEELERS, STEELERS have a 3-6 record, and only been a shell of thier golden days of the past. Most sports writers are writing the DETROIT LIONS, should be favored to win the always tough NFC CENTRAL DIVISION. Especially with both the PACKERS, and BEARS suffering from injuries with thier starting quarterbacks RODGERS, and CUTLER. GO GETEM LIONS!!!
