While turkey dinners are generally the star of the show on Thanksgiving, the action on the NFL gridiron is also a key to the festivities, with three games on the docket.
time, the Detroit Lions will play on Thanksgiving, and this year they’ll welcome the Buffalo Bills to Ford Field.
Interestingly, the Bills and Lions have played on Thanksgiving before. In 1975 the Lions beat Buffalo 27-14, and in 1994 they defeated the Bills again by a score of 35-21. The Lions meanwhile have not won a Thanksgiving game since 2016 when they beat the Minnesota Vikings. Since then they have lost to the Chicago Bears three times, including a 16-14 defeat last year.Shockingly, this will only be the second time that the Giants and Cowboys, both NFC East rivals, have played on the holiday. The only other matchup occurred in 1992, when the Cowboys beat the Giants 30-3.
The Vikings have not played in a primetime Thanksgiving game since the third contest was added to the schedule in 2006, but they do own one of the league’s best record in holiday games, going 6-2 in those contests.
