Kyle Long gears up to face dad's team

His father Howie Long was a Hall of Famer with the Raiders, but Bears tackle Kyle Long wasn’t a very big fan of the Silver and Black as a kid.

Kyle was only five years old when his dad retired in 1993 after playing his entire 13-year NFL career with the Raiders. Kyle grew up mostly in Virginia and actually became a Rams fan in 2008 when his older brother, Chris, was drafted by St. Louis.
