- ^ Grossman was the Bears’ starting quarterback before the start of the 2007 Chicago Bears season. After three inconsistent starts, Griese replaced Grossman. However, Griese sustained an injury during week ten, prompting Grossman to return again. Grossman, in turn, suffered an injury weeks later that forced him to relinquish his starting role again.
