The NFL's Thanksgiving tradition continues this year, as the Lions host the Bears and the Cowboys welcome the Bills, while the Saints take on the Falcons.
, football transcends the sport and sitting around the TV to watch the NFL is every bit as a family tradition as carving the turkey, which explains why bar the Super Bowl no other NFL games draws the kind of viewership than those scheduled on Thanksgiving.
Football has been played on Thanksgiving long before the NFL was founded in 1920, with college teams traditionally in action across the country on the fourth Thursday of November. The Detroit Lions played the role of trail blazers among modern-day NFL franchises, first playing on Thanksgiving in 1934 after George A. Richards purchased the Portsmouth Spartans and relocated them to Detroit, rebranding them Detroit Lions.
The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, made their Thanksgiving Day debut in 1966 and only missed playing on the holiday in 1975 and 1977, when then-NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle opted for the St. Louis Cardinals instead.
