Clausen Starts as Bears Lose to Lions 20-14

Joique Bell scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter to lead Detroit to a 20-14 win over Chicago.

Calvin Johnson added six catches for 103 yards for 11-4 Detroit, which came away with a narrow victory over a struggling team after locking up its second trip to the postseason in 15 years.

Detroit was hoping to lock up its first division championship since 1993. But because the Packers beat Tampa Bay, the NFC North race will come down to next week's game at Green Bay.

The Bears benched quarterback Jay Cutler last week in favor of the undistinguished Jimmy Clausen but the switch didn't do much for the Bears disappointing season.

Matthew Stafford overcame two interceptions and completed 22 of 39 passes for 243 yards. He hit the 4,000-yard mark for the fourth straight year.
