Aidan Hutchinson announcement that he is leaving Detroit lions now another significant issue for team……

Head coach Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions voiced a lot of frustration with his team’s lack of discipline in the 28-13 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Campbell’s annoyance included an offsides penalty that directly led to a Bears second-half touchdown.

But no one was more angry about the penalty than defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who committed the offsides.

Hutchinson encapsulated his frustration with four words in front of the media after the game.

I’m disgusted with it,” Hutchinson said of his offsides penalty.

The foul occurred on fourth-and-13 toward the end of the third quarter with the game tied 13-13. The Bears lined up on the field with their offense at the Lions 38-yard line.

Because Hutchinson jumped offsides, Bears quarterback Justin Fields took a free shot down field, which led to a 38-yard touchdown.

In addition to saying he was disgusted with the offsides penalty he committed, Hutchinson called it “a momentary lapse in judgement” that “changed the momentum of the game.” He placed all the blame for that on himself.

It’s debatable whether the Lions would have won in Chicago had Hutchinson not committed his offsides penalty. The Lions offense didn’t score any points in the second half and posted a season-low 267 yards.
