Thanksgiving NFL games have become as traditional as the holiday itself. The Detroit Lions are guaranteed to play, just as certainly as Aunt Margaret’s sweet potato pie will be on the table.
Today marks the beginning of the playoff season, so as the delicious smell of turkey begins to fill the house, take a break and watch a game from the comfort of your couch. Remember, however, that Amazon will not be airing the evening game tonight; instead, they will air a special game on Friday night.
For those wondering who’s playing and how to watch the games, here’s a look at today’s lineup:
