During a narration late in the episode, Frankie Heck claims that the Colts won 2 hours after Thanksgiving dinner but in 2010 (when it is set) the Colts did NOT play on Thanksgiving and further, when they did play that week on Sunday, they lost to the San Diego Chargers 36-14.

Quotes

Mike Heck: How'd this happen?
Rusty Heck: Eh, well, I was running the hot plate about four weeks ago and I noticed that one of the cords was frayed. I kept telling myself "Keep your eye on that", but, wouldn't you know it, I fell asleep face down with a cigarette in my mouth. I blame myself partially.
