One thing that the Chicago Bears offense has struggled to do this season was get off to a quick start. They managed to do just that against the Detroit Lions.
The Bears drove 50 yards in six plays to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead over the Lions. Mitchell Trubisky was 4-for-4 for 31 yards on the drive, which culminated in a 10-yard touchdown pass to receiver Allen Robinson.

Return man Cordarelle Patterson cranked off a 57-yard return to open the game, which set the Bears up at the 50-yard line.
Chicago scored on their opening possession for just the second time this season.
The Bears and Lions are tied 7-7 early in the first quarter.
