Dan Wiederer: Could Bears' Thanksgiving rally vs. Lions have big-picture significance?
CHICAGO - Kyle Fuller was there when the Bears needed him. In the fourth quarter of a tie game Thursday afternoon in Detroit, the Bears defense faced a defining moment.
On the previous play, safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had lined up offside, shortening a third-and-5 for the Lions to third-and-inches. When running back J.D. McKissic took a handoff and bounced toward the outside, the Bears appeared to be in big trouble.
McKissic had room. The Bears held their breath.
Fuller had no help, little margin for error
