When the Chicago Bears traveled to Motown for their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions, the Lions won big, 52-21.

It wasn’t just what Ryan Poles said in his opening presser as Chicago Bears general manager, but the moment immediately following his last word that stuck with me: “We’re going to take the North and never give it back,” he said, followed by a flipping of the page as he continued his remarks. In reality, […]
