CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears dont know who their quarterback will be going forward.But they at least have one running back.Rookie Jordan Howard had a breakout game, running for a career-high 111 yards to back a solid performance by quarterback Brian Hoyer, and the Bears picked up their first win of the season with a 17-14 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.I always thought we were going to win, but I wasnt expecting 100 yards, Howard said. That makes it even better. Just getting a win, Im very excited about that.The Bears were planning to use a committee approach after letting Matt Forte go as a free agent following last season. But with Jeremy Langford and KaDeem Carey hurt, it was basically a one-man show on Sunday.Howard carried 23 times and gave the Bears dormant running game a much-needed boost.He ran through defenders and exposed holes in the line -- an eye-opening performance for a running back who followed quite a path to the NFL.Howard transferred to Indiana last year after UAB shut down its program and was drafted by the Bears in the fifth round after averaging 134.8 yards rushing for the Hoosiers.I think we noticed pretty early on Jordan is a big back, coach John Fox said.We knew that coming out of the University of Indiana. I think the thing that we didnt know is the quickness of his feet and the vision that he has. I think hes outstanding and we will ride him pretty good moving forward.Here are some things learned as the Bears (1-3) also stopped a six-game home losing streak as well as a six-game slide against Detroit (1-3):WHOS AT QB? Brian Hoyer might have given Fox something to think about in filling in for the injured Jay Cutler.Hoyer threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns in his second straight start with Cutler nursing a sprained right thumb.The next game is at Indianapolis. And if Cutler is healthy, who starts?Id like to enjoy this for at least a few hours, Fox said.Hoyer shrugged off a similar question, saying, Its my role to do whatevers asked of me. Today, Im going to enjoy the victory. Whatever they say to me tomorrow, then thats what Ill prepare to do. I think thats being a professional about it.STRUGGLING LIONS: The Lions dropped their third straight, with Matthew Stafford struggling to find open receivers and a short-handed run game once again unable to get going.Stafford was 23 of 36 for 213 yards. Marvin Jones Jr. had 74 yards receiving after setting a career-high with 205 yards against Green Bay the previous week.The Lions managed just 66 yards rushing and 263 in total offense.We were just not sharp at all, coach Jim Caldwell said. There was no rhythm to it. Thats my fault.DOWN ON DEFENSE: The Lions defense clearly missed the injured Ezekiel Ansah and DeAndre Levy, considering they gave up 408 yards to a team that came into the game 27th in total offense.Ansah sprained his ankle two weeks ago in Detroits loss to Tennessee and didnt return to the game. Levy has a quadriceps injury. He missed much of last season with a hip injury.CORNERBACKS COME THROUGH: Bears cornerbacks have three interceptions, matching their total of last season.Jacoby Glenn and Deiondre Hall each picked off Stafford deep in Chicago territory on Sunday, helping Chicago beat Detroit for the first time since 2012.They were pressed into action early in the season because of injuries to Kyle Fuller (knee) and Bryce Callahan (concussion, hamstring).The other interception by a Chicago cornerback was by Tracy Porter in the opener at Houston. Fuller had two interceptions last season and Porter one.SLOW STARTS: After taking halftime leads in the first two games, the Lions have been outscored a combined 38-13 in the past two.We just have to keep fighting and keep practicing, tight end Eric Ebron said. I have no clue. We ball out all week, 100 percent effort all week and we get to Sunday and we have no idea why. Its a bad drought we have and we have to get ourselves out of there.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Deion Sanders Womens Jersey .

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi States overhauled roster is young, versatile and filled with highly rated recruits.It remains to be seen if that will translate into a long-awaited return to the postseason.The Bulldogs will have an almost totally new look in the second year of coach Ben Howland, though holdovers like sophomore Quinndary Weatherspoon and senior I.J. Ready should provide some continuity. Still, theres no doubt that several of the abundant freshmen on the roster -- including Tyson Carter, Eli Wright, Lamar Peters, Schnider Herard and Mario Kegler -- will be asked to contribute immediately.Were obviously very young, Howland said. Its probably the youngest team Ive ever had in 21 years as a head coach, but there are some talented kids who were excited about and were excited about their futures.The 6-foot-4 Weatherspoon turned into the Bulldogs best all-around player by the end of last season, averaging nearly 15 points per game in Southeastern Conference play. The 5-foot-11 Ready led Mississippi State with 134 assists and also scored 9.2 points per game.This is a special group, Ready said. Theyve got so much talent that I want to be able to not only give them knowledge, but actually help lead the path for them so they dont hit the bump that most freshmen do.Mississippi State is going to need its freshman class to make a quick impact. The 6-10 Herard gives the Bulldogs a big body in the paint after the departure of veteran post scorer Gavin Ware while Wright, Carter and Peters should provide support on the perimeter for Weatherspoon. The 6-foot-7 Kegler could be a threat on the perimeter or in the post.The hope is itll be the nucleus that eventually helps lead Mississippi State back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009.-----Some other things to know about Mississippi State this season:ITALY HELPS: Mississippi State had aa 4-0 record during its summer team trip to Italy, but more importantly, the Bulldogs were able to use valuable extra practice time to build chemistry coming into the season.dddddddddddd Several of the freshmen were big contributors. Said Howland: Our trip to Italy helped us so much with team unity. That is so exciting because we are going to be in a foxhole together. We will face a lot of adversity and how you deal with adversity as a team and as an individual is the key to success.YEAR 2 OF QUINNDARY: Weatherspoon was one of the biggest surprises in the SEC last season, emerging to become one of the best freshmen in the SEC by the end of the season. He said hes working hard to avoid a sophomore slump: Ill just keep working and playing as hard as I can. Even if Im not playing good on offense that night, Ill play defense as hard as I can.A NEW ERA: Mississippi State will be replacing a huge chunk of its scoring from a year ago after the departures of Craig
