Holy Blough! Lions' 3rd-string QB sets Twitter ablaze with strong 1st half

Thanksgiving is a time for food, family, and David Blough.

The Detroit Lions' third-string quarterback, making his first career NFL start, shredded the Chicago Bears' defense to the tune of 179 yards and two touchdowns in the first half.

He hit Kenny Golladay for a 75-yard touchdown on his first-ever pass attempt and followed that up with an 8-yard toss to Marvin Jones on his next drive.

Blough became just the fourth quarterback to throw for at least 130 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter of a game this season, and the football world loved his surprising start.

We could have had Mahomes, Watson, or Blough.

We picked Trubisky instead. pic.twitter.com/b9oH0T2knO
