Game 1: Bears at Lions Kick-off 17.30 An argument should be made that the Lions lose their right to a football game on Thanksgiving. For those who don’t know the tradition, every year, on Thanksgiving, the NFL played 2 football games, both the Lions and the Cowboys would host home games. Why the Lions? I have no idea, but the football gods were being spiteful that day. Now, in the modern day of squeezing every bit of advertising revenue that you can, the NFL, in their eternal wisdom decided that they needed a 3rd game, so, for the last 14 years, the NFL has added in a late game… and for no reason in particular, honestly, it wasn’t planned this way, honest… the NFL decided it would put that 3rd game on their swanky new NFL Network channel (which was barely 3 years old at the time). Just good timing really.
