Football players live by the 24-hour rule — you celebrate a win or lament a loss for one day and it’s on to the next game. But Bears safety Eddie Jackson acknowledge the 31-26 loss to the Lions three weeks ago at Ford Field still is sticking with him. 

“This is probably the worst feeling after a loss that we’ve had,” Jackson said. “It’s a division opponent. They’re plus-two wins to us. To go out the way did, it sucks. And I feel like everyone has that taste in their mouth. Now that we get a chance to get it back, at home, it’s a good feeling.”
