ALLEN PARK -- Joique Bell was a broke college student when he first went to work for the Detroit Lions as a security guard. Years later, he would become their tailback.

It's a remarkable rags-to-riches story that has helped him forge a unique bond with this city and team. He became a fan favorite over the years. Which made it all the weirder that he made his debut this year while playing against them.

He signed with the Bears before Week 4 and carried the ball three times for 6 yards in a 17-14 win over Detroit.
