Thanksgiving NFL Game: Kick Off, Half time Show

The NFL's Thanksgiving Classic is a series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.

It has been a regular occurrence since the league's inception in 1920. Currently, three NFL games are played every Thanksgiving. The first two are hosted by the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, with one team from each conference playing either team on a rotating basis; a third game, with no fixed opponents, has been played annually since 2006.
