Thanksgiving football schedule features all rivalries

It’s time for some Thanksgiving football! We get the annual triple-header, which is one of the few times I can appreciate short week football. And this year we get three rather interesting matchups. The NFL appears to have decided they needed a rivalry week, with all three games featuring significant historic rivalries.

The day opens with with the last place 4-6 Detroit Lions hosting the NFC North leading 7-3 Chicago Bears at 9:30 a.m. PT. The Bears are rolling right now, but the Lions have hung close in the division. Three game separate the top and bottom of the division.
