Thanksgiving is nearly right here, and it is a day that celebrates the primary time a pilgrim threw a stuffed turkey 40 yards into the tip zone for a tricky landing catch in heavy protection. That’s the reason it is custom to observe soccer all day and all evening on Thanksgiving; the household time and turkey dinner had been added to the vacation later.
This 12 months options the same old groups who at all times host NFL video games on Thanksgiving: the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. However as a result of the 2 groups are experiencing some off years this season (I am being type), it is the primetime matchup between AFC North rivals that is the metaphorical turkey centerpiece on this pigskin buffet.
This is who’s enjoying in and how one can watch the Thanksgiving NFL video games in 2020.
Houston Texas at Detroit Lions, 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT on CBS
It is OK to remain in mattress a little bit longer and miss the opener, because the 2-7 Texans tackle the 4-5 Lions in a matchup meaning little or no besides to eternally hopeful Lions followers, who I am pretty sure don’t exist as I’ve solely spoken with perennially depressing Lions followers. Detroit has hosted Thanksgiving video games since 1934, with a 37-40-2 file.
Where to Watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in 2020
Washington Soccer Workforce at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT on Fox
It is a nice matchup… for a Thanksgiving within the 1980s. Each Dallas and Washington are 2-7 and on the underside of the embarrassingly dreadful NFC East, with Dallas dealing with key accidents and Washington being Washington. Will probably be a very good day for backup quarterbacks, as each groups are sending out slingers who began the 12 months holding clipboards. That is the sport playing was invented for to maintain it attention-grabbing. “America’s Workforce” has hosted Thanksgiving video games virtually yearly since 1966.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers, 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on NBC
The primetime Thanksgiving recreation has been a convention since 2006, with new groups, normally division rivals, enjoying. This 12 months’s matchup is a juicy one, with the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) heading to their undefeated arch rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-0). Baltimore will likely be enjoying offended after a disappointing begin to the season, whereas Pittsburgh will depend on a stout protection to maintain Ravens QB Lamar Jackson in test. That is going to be old school, gritty soccer. Do not go right into a turkey coma throughout this one.
The remainder of the week’s NFL video games proceed on Sunday, Nov. 29 and Monday, Nov. 30.
