Anyway, I don't know if I should cheer for the Lions or not. I hate them in real life, but Millen wasn't even born yet, not to mention he couldn't screw the team up yet.

I noticed that too, Lewis. I call the offensive plays for Mike's team. The Bears weren't doing a very good job of stopping the Lions rushing attack, so I kept the ball on the ground. The Lions averaged 4.3 yards per carry on 35 attempts, which was an excellent average for 1938.
I remember three passing plays that were called back because of penalties, and at least twice, Mike was flushed out of the pocket and ran the ball himself.
Then, since the Lions had a 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter, I kept the ball on the ground and ate up the clock.
In the other four games he's played this season, Mike has thrown 14, 11, 8, and 13 passes. Those totals are much more typical than the four attempts he had in this game.
I'm not a huge Lions fan myself, despite the fact that a high school teammate of mine played for them in the late 80s-early 90s.
