Thanksgiving

For millions of Americans, Thanksgiving Day traditions and family gatherings are inextricably linked to NFL football. From touch football games with family and friends to watching NFL games with relatives after a traditional feast, these moments intertwine with the holiday season. The traditional Thanksgiving Day games played in Detroit and Dallas will again be celebrated as Thanksgiving Classics. In both games, the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts will celebrate their histories by wearing a uniform worn during an era of each franchise's past glory.
