Brian Griese will start at quarterback for the Bears Sunday at Detroit. Head coach Lovie Smith confirmed the move after practice yesterday. The Bears were 1-and-2 with Rex Grossman under center this season. Grossman completed 47-of-89 passes for 500 yards and one touchdown in the first three games. He was also picked off six times and has a passer-rating of just 45.2. Griese hasn’t started a game since October 16th, 2005 when he and the Bucs beat the Dolphins 27-13. In six games with the Bears last year, Griese completed 18-of-32 passes for 220 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
