• The Games

  The NFL has been playing games on Thanksgiving every year since 1945. This year, there were three games scheduled: first up was the Detroit Lions, who have hosted a Turkey Day game every year (excluding World War II) since 1934, against the 10-1 Tennessee Titans; then the Dallas Cowboys, who have hosted a Thanksgiving game every year (except 1975 and 1977) since their inception in 1960, played host to the Seattle Seahawks; and on Thursday Night Football, the Arizona Cardinals traveled to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.

  The Sunday doubleheader belonged to CBS. The scheduled Sunday Night Football game had the Chicago Bears facing the Minnesota Vikings, and the Monday Night Football match-up started December off with an AFC South contest between Jacksonville and Houston.
