Why do the Lions get credited with a win even though the Bears forfeited?

It should only count as a loss for the Bears, right? It's not fair for a team to be credited with a victory just because another team let them win.

Update:

Funny when the Bears swept the Lions last year none of us rubbed it in. But hey I guess that just shows the classiness of Detroit.

The Bears have 96 career victories against the Lions. More wins one team has over another in NFL history.

Stafford has a ... 3-7 career record against the Bears yes?

Hmmm....

Update 2:

@Yahoo -- First change your name (bleh!) , and then 2nd, realize that by antagonizing me (a fan) that you yourself, are being "unclassy" as you say. Have a good day!

Go Bears!

Update 3:

Gate 7 -- "Our offense wan't even playing good today and still whooped your ***!"

Haha, yeah. Half of the Bears defense was injured and you still struggled! Ahhahaha!!!

Update 4:

Staffmister -- well if that is the case, then I apologize for any heckling you received on your end last year. Then I suppose you have earned your right to give some to us. You may proceed.

    You can't have a team lose without another team winning. You either tie or there is a winner and loser. And it would be unfair for them to tie, so the second option makes sense. I don't know what sport your talking about, but this applies to all of them.

    Crybaby lol! Did the Bears forfeit earlier this year at Ford Field too? Our offense wan't even playing good today and still whooped your ***!

    EDIT: Sorry I choose to live in the today and now. Guess what? Michigan is the all-time most winning proogram. However, right now as a Michigan fan I can honestly tell you that we SUCK!
