Thanksgiving NFL games are back in 2024, and for the 19th year in a row, three games will be played on the national holiday. For the 59th year in a row, the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will each play in one of them.
The Lions have played on Thanksgiving every year since 1934, with the exception of the 1939-1945 seasons due to the Great Depression and World War II. The Cowboys adopted a similar tradition in 1966 and have also played on the holiday every year since.
