For the first time in their 62-year history, the Vikings will host a game on Thanksgiving Day. They will face a team whose only trip to U.S. Bank Stadium came in Super Bowl LII.
The team will play host to the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving night, according to a source with knowledge of the schedule, in the last of the league's three games on the holiday. It will be the Vikings' ninth Thanksgiving game, and their first since back-to-back trips to Detroit in 2016 and 2017.
The Vikings announced Thursday night that they will open at home against the Packers on Sept.
