Thanksgiving Day is meant for family, food, and football. Everyone knows this; no one better than the NFL, though. For years, the NFL has gifted us with games on Thanksgiving, and this year, fans are getting three contests to enjoy over dinner.
It all starts with an early game between two bitter NFC North rivals: the Detroit Lions return to national television to take on the Chicago Bears. Afterwards, America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, faces off against the New York Giants in a matchup that could determine the last place finisher in the NFC East. The day finishes with a showdown between the Green Bay Packers, looking to keep pace in the tough NFC North, and the Miami Dolphins, who are hoping to sneak into the playoffs after a tough start to the season.
Here’s how to watch each of these games on Thursday.
