DETROIT -- Chicago Bears rookie tight end Jesper Horsted’s first career NFL touchdown happened at the ideal time for Chicago.
With the Bears losing by a touchdown in the third quarter, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky dropped back to pass on 1st-and-10 from the Lions 18-yard line and found Horsted -- pressed into action because of injuries to Chicago’s top three tight ends -- open behind a pair of Lions defenders.
Using his outstretched arms, Horsted caught the pass but then momentarily bobbled it before he used his right hand to secure the ball to his body as he fell to the ground.
