You sick of hearing this yet — that you have to go back to Sid Luckman to find the last true great Bears quarterback?

Maybe because that’s because no Chicago Bears QB has ever thrown for more than 4,000 yards in a season.

We bring up this and 19 other weird NFL facts — as we kick off yet another football season with Thursday Night Football tonight locally on NBC Chicago. (The rest of the season’s Thursday night games will be on NFL Network and streaming on Amazon Prime)

If you have been following the predictions for the Monsters Of The Midway, don’t hold your breath for that record to fall THIS season. But maybe someday, with Justin Fields at the helm?
