It took more than 20 minutes of game action http://www.bearscheapstores.com/kyle-long-jersey-cheap , but we finally have some points in Detroit.ackles and got the ball in the end zone from four yards out for the first score of Thanksgiving Day. Matt Prater‘s extra point made it a 7-0 Lions lead.Blount wasn’t able to break any tackles on a third-and-one from the 16-yard-line a couple of plays earlier and Lions coach Matt Patricia elected to go for it on fourth down. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a pass that Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan tipped into the air and tight end Nick Bellore dove to catch it for a first down before it hit the turf. That was a lucky bounce for the Lions because it looked like Stafford was throwing into heavy coverage had Trevathan missed the ball.Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara was one piece of that coverage and he stayed down after colliding with a teammate. He was helped off, but returned on Blount’s touchdown run.What can we expect from Taylor Gabriel? We’ve yet to see wide receiver Taylor Gabriel suit up in any of the three preseason games the Chicago Bears have played in. We could finally get a glimpse of the 5’8” speedster on Saturday afternoon against the Kansas City Chiefs.

He’s one of the fastest players in the NFL, but through his four previous years in the NFL, he never really had what one would call a break out season.SB Nation’s team sites recently had the chance to shoot a few questions over to Football Outsiders http://www.bearscheapstores.com/bryce-ca...rsey-cheap , and Assistant Editor Scott Kacsmar was the FO staffer that is helping us out this week.In case you missed the previous three questions, here they are.What are some Andy Reid tendencies that we might see Matt Nagy bring with him to Chicago?Cody Withehair had a rough year in 2017 after playing superbly as a rookie, do you expect him to bounce back at center this season?Nose tackle Eddie Goldman anchors the middle of the Bears’ D, but is often underappreciated due to the nature of his position. How important is he to their success in 2018?And here’s the latest question posed to FO.Taylor Gabriel as been an explosive presence at training camp so far http://www.bearscheapstores.com/nick-kwi...rsey-cheap , but his career high is only 36 receptions, which he recorded as a rookie in 2014.
