Grossman, who spent long hours of rehab to return as Chicago's starter before breaking his ankle Aug. 12 in a preseason game, replaced struggling Kyle Orton in the third quarter. On his first play of the season after the long layoff, Grossman completed a 22-yard pass to Muhsin Muhammad.
Orton, who was the starter during Chicago's eight-game winning streak this season, completed 2-of-10 first-half passes for 12 yards before he was yanked on a frigid night at Soldier Field.
