There are a few extra chairs at the holiday table this season.
In addition to the standard three Thanksgiving Day games being played, the NFL will also have its second annual Black Friday game as part of the festivities.
Thursday kicks off with the Lions hosting the Bears in the teams’ first meeting of the season, with Detroit riding a nine-game win streak and Chicago losers of five straight. The middle course is a battle of backup QBs, with the Cowboys hosting the Giants in Dallas.
You’ll want to be sure to save room for dessert, too. The suddenly cooking Miami Dolphins head up to Green Bay for a chilly night against the Packers.
And after you’re back from a long shopping day, tune in for the Chiefs hosting the Raiders on Friday afternoon. If last year’s Christmas upset at Arrowhead is any indication, this one could be interesting.
The holiday quartet of games offers a little something for everyone. So fill your plates all day Thursday and be sure to have an extra helping on Friday. There will be plenty of football to go around this holiday season, something everyone should be thankful for.
