The Chicago Bears were giving the Detroit Lions quite a game on Thanksgiving.
The basement team in the NFC North was only down 23-20 to the division leaders late in the fourth quarter.
Jack Fox was called upon to deliver a punt that would leave Chicago in bad field position — make that awful field position.
Fox boomed a punt and when a Lions special teamer downed it, the ball was inside the one-yard line.
There was a sliver of green between the cleat of Khalil Dorsey and the goal line.

The Bears needed to go 99 yards for a possible game-wining TD or get close enough for Cairo Santos to try for a field goal that could force overtime.
