The NFL is set to deliver its annual feast of football on Thanksgiving Day, for the 20th year in a row. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will continue their legendary streak, each hitting the field for the 60th straight Thanksgiving game. This holiday ritual, rooted in NFL history since 1934, promises thrilling action on Thursday (November 27).

Details about the tradition of the Thanksgiving NFL games

Thanksgiving NFL games have been a significant part of American holidays for nearly a century. The league initiated this tradition in 1934, but it truly took shape during the Super Bowl era. Since then, the Lions and Cowboys have anchored the day as hosts every single year, skipping only 1975 and 1977.

This season, Detroit will welcome a fierce NFC North foe, while Dallas battles an AFC powerhouse. Capping it off, a prime-time AFC North clash is set to add fireworks.
