For the Bears, Matt Nagy remains on the sidelines after surviving against the Lions on Thanksgiving. In a 16-14 win, Andy Dalton threw for 317 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. While the win undoubtedly wasn’t pretty – and was nudged along by some frankly baffling coaching decisions from the Lions’ Dan Campbell – it was a win all the same.

Comic book movies in the time before the MCU were much more uncertain, wavering wildly in quality, sometimes within the same franchises.
