It was a fitting start to what most expected to be a Thanksgiving dud. The Lions won the coin toss before their matinee started against the Bears and opted to defer. Bears linebacker Christian Jones did not realize this and also opted to defer. Clearly, no one wanted the ball. The Bears, though, were forced to take it after the referee straightened everything out between the teams’ captains.
