Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the National Dog Show and the NFL. Once the turkey trot 5K races have been run and the family has watched the floats and balloons traverse New York City, it's time to settle in and watch back-to-back-to-back football action.
As is tradition, the Detroit Lions are hosting a game, this time welcoming the Green Bay Packers at 1 p.m ET. The two divisional rivals have similar records this season, with the Lions sitting at 7-4 and the Packers at 7-3-1.
