Undefeated record vs. 'P' teams has Lions fans calling Chicago the 'Pears'

If you're into tradition, there's a good chance your Thanksgiving will feature turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie.

But if a group of Detroit Lions fans get their way, it will also include pears. That's because a petition picking up steam on the networking, information and discussion website, Reddit, is asking Lions fans to refer to the Chicago Bears as the "Chicago Pears."

Why?

Because, oddly enough, three of the four teams Detroit has beaten this year have started with the letter "P."

"We are undefeated against teams beginning with P," the petition reads.
