The Thanksgiving Day schedule for Week 13 of the NFL season is more than just a lineup of games; it’s a celebration of the rich history and traditions associated with the holiday. This year’s schedule includes three must-watch games, featuring two teams that have been playing on Thanksgiving for decades.
The Chicago Bears will travel to face the Detroit Lions, the team that hosted the first Thanksgiving Day game in 1934, to kick off the festivities. The second game of the day will feature the New York Giants traveling to Arlington, Texas, to face the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have hosted a home game on Thanksgiving every year since 1966, and this year is no different. Both teams have faced challenging seasons, and a win this week would be crucial. It would also serve as a much-needed morale booster to lift their spirits as they head into the holiday season.
To conclude the Thanksgiving Day events, the Miami Dolphins will take on the Green Bay Packers in a prime-time game. Both teams are entering Week 13 on winning streaks and aim to maintain their momentum as the season heads into the finals weeks.
