FOXBORO — For the first time in ten years, the New England Patriots will take the field on Thanksgiving night to face the Minnesota Vikings at 8:20 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
This year, the NFL’s holiday slate of games is getting a unique, yet fitting upgrade.
While it may be best described as a time of reflection and gratitude for life’s many blessings, Thanksgiving is often defined by “family, food, fun and, of course … football.” Whether it be the competition of traditional high school rivalries or the excitement of NFL showdowns, the game of football remains an integral part of the country’s most universally celebrated holiday.
