Brian Griese To Start For Bears Against Detroit

The NFL Network is reporting that Brian Griese will start at quarterback Sunday for the Chicago Bears.

Griese, the son of NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Bob Griese, will replace Rex Grossman, who threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night and did not get a vote of confidence from his coach a day later.

Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith was evasive Tuesday as to whether or not Rex Grossman would start for the Bears Sunday against Detroit.

This is a much needed move for the Bears that could be the move that could save their season. Grossman had struggled through the first three games, throwing an interception in the San Diego game that took the Bears out of scoring range, throwing two interceptions against a mediocre Kansas City Secondary, and Grossman throwing three interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys, including one that was returned for a touchdown by Anthony Henry. Grossman has strugled. The Bears' fans have labored through the first three games of the season, clamoring for Griese to start, and the cries only got louder after the Dallas Game. This was a move Head Coach Lovie Smith had to make. Brian Griese is now starting for the Bears. Will he be better than Rex Grossman?
