NFL Thanksgiving games in 2024 begin at 12:30pm ET with Detroit hosting Chicago. Two more contests are on the Thanksgiving Day schedule.
The Eagles got off to a 2-2 start but are riding a six-game winning streak into Week 12. That puts Philadelphia in control of the NFC East.
Sunday will be a matchup of strength versus strength. Barkley and Henry are one and two in rushing yards, and both teams boast the top two rushing attacks.
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley entered the NFL MVP race with a 302-yard performance on Sunday Night Football. Is he the frontrunner?
Simply put, Detroit has exhibited no signs of a hangover after a brutal loss in last year’s NFC championship game. The Lions are an aggressive team that refuses to take their foot off the gas at any point, whether quarterback Jared Goff has thrown five interceptions or they have a 30-point lead.
Thanksgiving Day is meant for family, food, and football. Everyone knows this; no one better than the NFL, though. For years, the NFL has gifted us with games on Thanksgiving, and this year, fans are getting three contests to enjoy over dinner.
It was the smallest card of the 2024 NFL season in terms of the number of contests (13). A total of six teams were off in Week 12, including a pair from the AFC East (Bills and Jets), and the NFC South (Falcons and Saints). The AFC North’s Bengals and AFC South’s Jaguars round out the half-dozen clubs getting some much-needed rest.
The Cowboys’ upset helped the surging Philadelphia Eagles create even more cushion in their NFC East lead. And in New York, the Giants proved they’ve got plenty of other problems beyond QB Daniel Jones.
The Cowboys are still the centerpiece at the NFL Thanksgiving table, but this year's showdown vs. the Giants could leave viewers with indigestion.
