Yes, the Lions got the benefit of a ref's call Sunday against the Bears -- but Jay Mariotti of the Chicago Sun Times goes a little far in his column. He's mad at the Bears' coaches, the NFL, Detroit, and Nick Saban for not taking the Chicago job last year.









Damn right, the Bears were mugged Sunday. Mugged, bamboozled, hosed, gypped, Slim Shady-ied, railroaded, ripped off, blindsided, backstabbed, pickpocketed, hoodwinked, gagged, tied -- you know, all the mean things that happen to visitors on a typical afternoon in downtown Detroit.

Here is the reaction of the Bears in the game story from the Chicago Tribune. It is, as you might expect, a little heated.









A smiling Hutchinson smacked high-fives and started a sideline celebration the football gods would never let him finish. Asked if he had begun to celebrate, Hutchinson answered: "Didn't [everyone]? [Berrian] had two feet in and kept the ball in his possession. When I see it on TV like that, it's a touchdown."



...



"Is it a respect issue?" Tillman asked about the calls going against the Bears. "We're the Bears, they're the Lions. Not to take anything away from the Lions, they did whip us. But we had the same record, so we should have the same respect they have, right?"









In the Chicago Sun Times they feature a quote from Bernard Berrian on his no-call score.









"It was a touchdown,'' Berrian said. "No doubt at all. When I first caught it, I knew they were going to replay it. The thing I was thinking was if I had my feet in because I knew I caught the ball. When I saw the replay, it took one time to see that I had my feet in. That's all they needed to take, just one look.''









A column in the Sun Times says the no-call is the best thing that could've happened to the Bears. It would have been a meaningless win, and in defeat they at least have something to look forward to.









Upon further review, the Bears have a better draft pick. Paid professionals aren't supposed to enjoy moral victories, but Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Lions at Ford Field had all the hallmarks of a best-case-scenario result. The Bears can cry foul, claim mistreatment and point to their impending team record for penalties in a season as merely part of a larger conspiracy to deny them their rightful place in the playoff picture.

I was at the game so I couldn't tell you about the call. What I can tell you is that Calvin Johnson did a two handed push off to put himself in a position to make that catch. It wasn't called, but it was blatant, so justice was done.

It looked to me like he was getting ready to go into some kind of celebration and if that caused him to lose the TD that would be funny.
