The last time that Kansas City played on Thanksgiving was 2025 against the Cowboys. Prior to then, it was in 2006. This is notable because it was the year that the league decided to play three games on Thursday instead of just two games featuring the Cowboys and the Lions.

Week 13 will begin with a trio of Thanksgiving games, all of which will carry potential playoff implications.

The Cowboys have won two straight to get to 5-5-1, including completing a 21-point comeback last week against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Thanksgiving and NFL football go hand-in-hand.

It's Thanksgiving game No. 86 for the Detroit Lions, who've played on every Turkey Day, other than during World War II, since arriving in Detroit (from Portsmouth, Ohio) in 1934.

Three NFL games will be played on Thanksgiving, starting with Green Bay and Detroit kicking off the day at noon CT.
