There are three games being played on Thanksgiving 2021: one by the Detroit Lions and one by the Dallas Cowboys. The third game is a prime-time game.
SOME LEAKED EXTRA EARLY FOR 2021 NFL THANKSGIVING GAMES
Nothing is better than watching the 2021 Thanksgiving matches. Publicity is allowed for the six NFL teams that are participating in the match. Who are they?
CHICAGO BEARS AT DETROIT LIONS
Start time: Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions 1230 p.m ET
Fox TV Channel
For many years, the Chicago Bears have faced off against the Detroit Lions. Their next encounter will be a different one.
Matthew Stafford was fired by the Lions. They have welcomed Jared Goff, their new full-back, as their quarterback. BILLION
Mitchell Trubisky is not allowed to join the Chicago Bears. Many believed in Justin Fields, who has replaced Andy Dalton. The Lions will be facing many disadvantages, as many people have predicted.
This is a very exciting and unpredictable match in NFL Thanksgiving Football 2021.
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS AT DALLAS COWBOYS
Start time: Las Vegas Raiders at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET
Television channel: CBS
They have all been playing the NFL Thanksgiving Day game for quite some time. They have faced each other only 12 times. The Las Vegas Raiders won six times, while the Cowboys won six.
Recent wins are more impressive for the Dallas Cowboys. This match offers the Las Vegas Raiders a chance to defeat them.
This could be one the most exciting matches this season. Both coaches face many challenges. They could not help but support their players to the knockout round. This match is therefore very important for Mike McCarthy and Jon Gruden.
BUFFALO BILLS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Start time: Buffalo Bills at New Orleans Saints 8:20 p.m. ET
Television channel: NBC (week-by-week schedule during the holiday tournament).
It is difficult to predict the outcome of this competition. All of them have impressive records in recent times. The Orleans Saints won NFC South, while the Buffalo Bills finished as AFC runners up.
Drew Brees, the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, could put them in a difficult spot. The New Orleans Saints are capable of defeating any opponent. Sean Payton's guidance is the reason. The Buffalo Bills are theoretically the better team.
WHERE TEAMS PLAY ON THANKSGIVING TIME?
For 43 years, both the Dallas Cowboys (Dallas Cowboys) and Detroit Lions (Detroit Lions) have been part of Thanksgiving football games.
In 1934, the Detroit Lions hosted their first thanksgiving match. Their 82nd match is the next.
In 1966, the Dallas Cowboys were founded. Their goal was to increase the group's influence. They beat Antonio Brown at the Cotton Bowl that same year. They also set new records when they attracted more than 80,000 people to the Cotton Bowl. Dallas Cowboys played every Thanksgiving Day game except 1977 and 1975.
Which teams have never played Thanksgiving football?
Only one NFL team has ever played Thanksgiving. The Jaguars would be that team.
The team has not been invited to a Thanksgiving game since 1995 when they joined the league. Trevor Lawrence is on the team so maybe that will happen in the not too distant future. They didn't play the Cowboys or Lions this year so the chances of them playing on Turkey Day are low.
Only a few teams have made Thanksgiving appearances: the Bengals, Buccaneers, and Panthers. In 2015, the Panthers, which were an expansion franchise that was founded in 1995 with the Jaguars made their only appearance. They defeated the Cowboys.
Here's the all-time leaderboard of Thanksgiving games. The Cowboys, Lions, and other NFC North members are unsurprisingly at the top.
What was the outcome of the 2020 Thanksgiving Games
For the first time since 2006, there were only two Thanksgiving games last season. The Steelers-Ravens game was rescheduled for Tuesday, the next day. This left only two games between the Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, and the Dallas Cowboys & Washington Football Team.
Houston Texans 41, Detroit Lions 25
It looked like the first of two Thanksgiving Games 2020 was going to be close in the second quarter. With 12:56 left in the quarter, the Texans led the Lions 14-13. The Texans had a nine point lead at halftime (23-14), Despite scoring the first quarter's points, the Lions wouldn't score again until the Texans had 24 points.
J.J. Watt scored a defensive touchdown, and Deshaun Watson and Will Fuller both completed touchdown passes. Watson finished the game with 17-of-25 yards and 4 touchdowns. Matthew Stafford was 28-of-42 for 295 yard, with 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Detroit couldn't build on the early points, though Adrian Peterson did find the end zone twice in halftime. This was the fourth consecutive loss for the Lions in Thanksgiving games, something they will look to correct in the 2021 NFL season.
Washington Football Team 41, Dallas Cowboys 16.
It looked close in the second game, but once again the road team won. Washington led by 20-16 at the end of the fourth quarter. Washington would score 21 points unanswered to blow out the Cowboys. Washington won the NFC East crown thanks to this game.
Antonio Gibson carried it 20 times for 115 yards with 3 touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott, however, managed only 32 yards in 10 attempts. Amari Cooper, the Cowboy with 112 yards and an touchdown on 8 targets was the only one to succeed. Dallas is hoping for a better outcome to their 2021 NFL Thanksgiving Game.
FINAL WORDS
Preparing for the tournament has been more difficult due to the effects of the covid 19 epidemic. But that doesn't stop the drama. Are you up for some exciting football matches during the holidays?
