Detroit Lions vs Chicago Bears 1st quarter week 7

The Detroit Lions are first to get the ball and the Bears defense shuts them down and they go 3 and out.

Chicago gets the ball with decent field position and on the first 3rd and long the quarterback Jay Cutler runs it for a first down. A few plays later they have a great running play and before you know it they are in the end zone and are first on the board with a score of 7 to the Bears 0.

The Lions can’t seem to get their momemtum going and can not convert on their second drive either. Detroit needs to start making more 3rd down conversions or they will not get anywhere tonight.

Defensively the Lions are giving Cutler too much time in the pocket and they need to step up the pressure more. The Bears quarterback has quite an arm and his accuracy so far this game has been fine. They did manage to stop this latest 3rd down conversion and Chicago must punt and the Lions will have the ball on the 19.

Another 3 and out and it’s time to punt the ball to Chicago again. The Bears get the ball back around mid field. And Jay Cutler has no one to deliver the ball to and turns in another great run and gains about 24 yards. The Lions defense stepped it up a bit and force the Bears to take a field goal and gives Chicago a 10 to 0 lead over the Lions.

As we near the end of the first quarter the Lions punt the ball again and the score still stands at 10 to 0 the Bears lead.
