DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have won this season with clutch kicks, timely takeaways and last-ditch drives.Now, add a couple game-changing penalty flags to the long list of things that have gone Detroits way.Two holding calls in the final minute kept Chicago out of reasonable field goal range, and the Lions beat the Bears 20-17 on Sunday for their eighth victory in nine games. Almost every Detroit game this season has come down to the wire, and this one might very well have gone to overtime if not for the two crucial flags on Chicago.It may not be pretty, but this is the way it is in this game, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. I just know one thing: You dont do it that many times and consider it luck, so there is some skill in there. I think our guys do a tremendous job of being able to handle tough situations very, very well and they keep doing it week after week.The Lions, who have not won a division title since 1993, lead the NFC North by two games.Down by three, the Bears had the ball at the Detroit 43-yard line with 58 seconds left. Cameron Meredith caught a pass and outran the defense before going out of bounds at the 16, but the play was called back because of a holding penalty on lineman Charles Leno.On the next snap, Matt Barkley completed a pass to Daniel Braverman that would have put the ball at the 30, but there was a flag on that play too -- holding on lineman Ted Larsen.When I was playing it didnt feel like it, a grab, a hold or a restriction, Larsen said. They called it, so theres nothing you can do about that, but you cant really recover from two holding penalties back to back. They called it. I really dont have much to say about that.The Bears finished with 11 penalties for 139 yards, with 74 of those yards coming on three pass interference flags. A pass interference call on Tracy Porter helped the Lions drive for their first touchdown of the day in the second quarter, and Bryce Callahan was flagged for the same infraction shortly before Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford scored the winning touchdown on a 7-yard run late in the fourth.Detroit (9-4) has had only one game this season decided by more than seven points. The Lions have gotten consistently good kicking from Matt Prater, who made a 54-yarder Sunday, and Stafford has made fourth-quarter comebacks seem almost routine. Chicago took a 17-13 lead with 7:07 remaining when CreVon LeBlanc intercepted a pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown. Stafford then led a seven-play, 76-yard drive and scored the winning TD with 3:17 remaining.The Bears (3-10) were driving back the other way before the two holding calls left them facing first-and-30 from their own 37. They made it back across midfield to set up fourth-and-11 from the Detroit 44, but Barkleys pass over the middle was incomplete.When you keep getting pushed back like that, you really want to just get chunks at a time -- youre not going to gain it all back in one play, Barkley said. Gave ourselves a chance on fourth down.

The last group of the League of Legends World Championship (Worlds), Group B, needed every single game to determine its final two teams. At one point, there were three teams with a record of 2-3 with only two games left to play for the day -- it truly was a free-for-all group. In the end, the defending Worlds champion, SK Telecom T1 (SKT) and Cloud 9 (C9) qualified for the quarterfinals.Winner of the day: SK Telecom T1The cream of the crop showed up in elite form for the final day of the group stage. SKT showcased its versatility in the draft phase and its game play. The South Korean team snowballed the teams it was expected to beat (I May) and played disciplined and calculated League of Legends to prevent potential upsets against C9 and Flash Wolves. Scarier still, every member of SKT played a standout game. Whether it was the support, the AD carry, or even the weaker top lane, it was a balanced attack and dominant day. SKT should be the favorite for the rest of Worlds if its group play was any indication.Losers of the day: I May and Flash WolvesI May almost lucked itself into a quarterfinals berth, but the sloppy play that plagued the Chinese team continued until its exit from the group stage. I May was either out-drafted in composition (SKTs poke-heavy lineup) or just outplayed (C9s winning the early game). Even in its lone victory over the Flash Wolves, the team played aimlessly after it took an objective and gold lead. I May was simply not ready to move on and every team, with the exception of Flash Wolves throw, exposed the gap.Flash Wolves fell into this category based off of its record and schedule.dddddddddddd Flash Wolves needed to beat the top team from the group, SKT, in order to enter a tiebreaker with C9 but failed to do so. The team did not necessarily play poorly, it just couldnt hang long enough to force a tie. One team needed to lose out of C9 and Flash Wolves and the better team exited.Team that needed improvement: Cloud 9C9 played well enough to qualify out of its group, but there were still many shortcomings and errors in its outings. All in all, the North American team looked strong in one and a half games and rather weak for the rest of its matchups. The teams damage-dealers were wholly inconsistent and individual play was necessary at multiple situations to bail the team out. In its game against SKT, it was just Jung Impact Eon-yeong that made a lasting impression, but then he disappeared for the rest of the day. After that, there were only isolated standout performances from each of the core farmers of C9, Nicolaj Jensen Jensen and Zach Sneaky Scuderi.C9 played most of its games with the late-game in mind and forced the opposition to crawl at its pace -- which was a positive if the opposition was also weak in that department. But, the downside to the strategy is that its simple to beat: just aggressively punish C9s weaker lanes and rotate for advantageous forced fights. If C9 wants to continue its Worlds journey, it needs to adapt and develop different strategies outside of its mid and late game focus. ' ' '
