00:00Last time the Bears were in Detroit, Ben Johnson got booed off the field.
00:06Yes.
00:06And it was one of the more embarrassing games of his first season.
00:11And it framed really everything that came after that.
00:14That's where they bottomed out in 2025.
00:17And I think when you consider what that would mean in terms of
00:22if they need it at that stage of the season, we don't know what the context will be,
00:26but that will provide ample motivation.
00:30In a short week with a lot of distractions, you want to get in and out.
00:34It is Thanksgiving Day.
00:35And frankly, it also will have that week to discuss how it didn't go so well
00:42the last time they played on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit.
00:45That was the end of the Matt E. Refuse era.
00:48That was the day that they could not manage the clock.
00:50And that was the goodbye hastily the next day.
00:55So there are a lot of storylines that are really fun to consider
00:59when you think about them going to Thanksgiving or Detroit on Thanksgiving Day
01:03and Ben Johnson having his team.
01:05They will be ready.
01:06And who knows who will be healthy and who will be in front
01:08and what surprises will happen along the way.
01:10But I like that game because of those reasons.
