The Bears wore throwback bright orange jerseys — replicas of Chicago’s 1946 uniform — for a Thanksgiving game at Dallas. Then-rookie quarterback Drew Henson — yes, the Drew Henson — led the 3-7 Cowboys to a 21-7 victory in front of a national TV audience. The Bears offense gained just 140 yards behind Craig Krenzel and Jonathan Quinn.
