Calvin Johnson TD Overturned Lose Game & Quarterback

Matthew Stafford missed the 2ND half vs. Chicago with a shoulder injury. There is no timetable when he'll return to the Lions lineup. Backup Shaun Hill comes into the game for Detroit. Trailing late in the game with less than a minute remaining, he seemed to throw the game winning touchdown pass. However Calvin Johnson was informed after instant replay he didn't maintain possession as he lost the ball while coming down in the back of the end zone. Bears 19 Lions 14, it appeared Johnson had both feet down and possession of the football before losing the football when hitting the ground. However during the postgame press conference the Lions head coach didn't blame the officals. He said Detroit, had plenty of chances to win, one play didn't make a difference.
