The Philadelphia Eagles won’t be playing on Thanksgiving this year after all.
Back in February, John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal said the following during a Sports Illustrated podcast:
“I didn’t actually write about this but I have head that Minnesota vs. Philadelphia is one that’s in play. It’s not dead set, but I’m told that it’s pretty likely.”
Well, it’s not happening. Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports the Thanksgiving night game will feature the Atlanta Falcons hosting the New Orleans Saints. The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane is reporting confirmation that the Eagles will NOT be playing on Turkey Day.
