A quarterback matchup between Chicago’s Mitch Trubisky and undrafted rookie third-stringer David Blough was expected to induce Thanksgiving Day naps long before the turkey hit the table, but Thursday’s Bears-Lions game featured two touchdowns in the first four minutes of the game.
After Trubisky hit Allen Robinson for a 10-yard touchdown on Chicago’s opening drive, Blough took the field for his first career series as an NFL quarterback and delivered the longest play from scrimmage the Lions have produced all season. On 3rd-and-10, Blough hit Kenny Golladay for a 75-yard touchdown.
Hey not bad for your FIRST NFL COMPLETION!
David Blough 75-yards to Kenny Golladay for the TD!

NFL Twitter was blown away.
Blough needs only 75,970 yards to pass Drew Brees for the NFL yardage record now.
Brees only averages 11.3 yards per completion too, so at 75 yards per completion Blough will be there in no time.
