In season of firsts, Panthers set to play first ever Thanksgiving Game

Turkey, sweet potato casserole, weight gain, and family are some traditional parts of the holiday we call Thanksgiving. We love this time in America because we can eat a lot and not feel bad because everyone is doing it. Football has been a big tradition during this time of year since 1920 – when the league began. However, as media has developed and grown, the entire nation is able to watch these games while enjoying their Thanksgiving meals. As for the Carolina Panthers, they have merely been recipients of the Thanksgiving tradition and watched football on the television with their families.
