I thought I’d give you a bit of NFL history today, since the league fills up Thanksgiving with football.
For this photo, Getty Images says:
Quarterback Bill Wade #9 of the Chicago Bears sets up to throw a pass during a game in the 1960s against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Wrigley Field in Chicago Illinois.
I looked at Wade’s game logs while he was a member of the Bears, 1961-66. There wasn’t a single game he played against the Steelers at Wrigley as a Bear, and no one had worn No. 9 as a quarterback for the Bears before that since 1955, and that was a guy named Bob Williams, who didn’t face the Steelers at Wrigley, either.
