Rex Grossman was criticized when he threw a game-ending interception against the Detroit Lions on opening day.

He was replaced once again by Griese when he sustained a knee injury during his fifth consecutive start. Grossman was forced to relinquish his starting position to Kyle Orton, who had previously temporarily relieved him after his 2005 preseason injury.
