Game #1: Detroit (0-0) at Chicago (0-0)

The fresh-faced rookie needed help today, but he sure didn't get it from his receivers. WR Tyrone Lee showed why coach is unhappy with him, leading the team with 8 targets, but only pulling down 2 passes. RB Kelly Hayes, however, raced for 115 yards on 18 carries, the team as a whole rushing for 5.56 per clip.

The defense today was stout up front. Very stout. Detroit struggled, rushing for only 2.81 per carry, for 59 total yards. The pass rush hurried Lion QBs 15 times. MLB Dexter Lucas led the team with 11 tackles.

Despite outplaying Detroit, turnovers and a missed field goal kept the game close, sending it to overtime. In the end, however, RB Kelly Hayes busted one loose for 20 yards and a game-winning TD. Chicago wins, 16-10.
