NFL Week 12: Thanksgiving Day Football Houston Texans vs Detroit Lions

Happy Thanksgiving! It's time for the traditional Turkey Day football games. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys always host games on this day, and a third game at night was added in 2006. That game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers has been moved to Sunday due to positive COVID-19 tests in the Ravens organization.

The first game of the holiday features the Houston Texans visiting the Detroit Lions. The two teams have a combined 7 wins for the season, which is one more total win than the two teams in the 2nd Thanksgiving game.
