Thanksgiving dinner might feature roasted Falcon instead of turkey for many New Orleanians this year.
The New Orleans Saints will play host to their longtime NFC South archrivals, the Atlanta Falcons, in a primetime game on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 22, according to a source familiar with the NFL schedule, which will be released tonight. NBC will broadcast the game at 7:20 p.m.
The Saints' entire 16-game schedule will be released at 7 p.m. on Thursday (April 19).
The Saints-Falcons series is one of the most intense and long-running rivalries in the NFL and has become a favorite of the league's network broadcast partners.
