NFL Thanksgiving Games 2024: What teams are playing, how to watch, and guide to Thursday schedule

Can Tagovailoa silence critics against Packers?
Jay Croucher and Drew Dinsick preview the Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers and discuss Tua Tagovailoa's potential production in a cold weather environment.

No annual celebration of Thanksgiving is complete without a full day of NFL action — some games with significant playoff implications and some... less so. But regardless of the playoff chances for the six teams in action on Thanksgiving Day, there’s something for fans across the country to intersperse with the consumption of turkey and assorted sides.

Thanksgiving stalwarts will be in action, most notably the Detroit Lions (taking on the Chicago Bears) and the Dallas Cowboys (hosting the New York Giants). For their part the Lions sit atop the NFC with a 10-1 record, and haven’t lost since Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They’re also 6-0 on the road this season, although they’ll have the benefit of homefield advantage against their struggling division rivals.

Thursday’s games kick off a busy holiday weekend in the NFL, with a Black Friday matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs, and a full day of matchups on Sunday, December 1st. But it all starts with the Thanksgiving action — for the full schedule, including start time and how to watch information, see below.
