We went inside the 49ers locker room to find out their favorite Thanksgiving food items.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The relationship between football and Thanksgiving goes back as far as 1934, when the Bears and Lions became the NFL's first nationally broadcasted game on NBC radio.
Since then, football and America's favorite meal have gone together like whipped cream on pumpkin pie or gravy on mashed potatoes.
The 49ers are in the midst of a dreary 3-7 season as they prepare for the division leading Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Unlike last season, when they played the Seattle Seahawks on a memorable night in Levi's Stadium, the 49ers will have the holiday available to be with their loved ones.
