Red-hot Grossman passes Bears to 2-0 start
By Larry Mayer
CHICAGO – One of quarterback Rex Grossman’s primary goals this season was to lift the passing game onto equal footing with the Bears’ top-10 defense and running game.
The 2003 first-round draft pick more than accomplished that objective in Sunday’s home opener, completing 20 of 27 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns to propel the Bears to a 34-7 victory over the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field.
Tight end John Gilmore celebrates one of his two TD receptions in Sunday's 34-7 victory over the Lions with teammate Muhsin Muhammad.
“We went after them a little bit and it felt really good to put up some points,” Grossman said. “Thirty-four points is a pretty good performance. Anytime we do that we’re going to win, but anytime our defense keeps any team to seven points we think we’re going to win as well."
One week after crushing the Packers 26-0 in Green Bay, the Bears took a commanding 24-0 halftime lead and cruised to their second straight lopsided victory.
“Everything seemed to work today," Grossman said. "Our offensive line did a great job giving me time. (Coordinator) Ron Turner put me in a lot of good situations and then we were able to capitalize once we were in those situations. So it was a total team effort and that’s always the most fun to see.”
