"Another year, another Thanksgiving, another day of football and halftime shows. It's Thanksgiving Day once more, and a good ol' American tradition continues with the NFL's John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration, formerly the NFL Thanksgiving Classic. On November 27, two NFL match-ups will take place in the early and mid-afternoon while a third will begin at 8:20 p.m. ET. (That's when the food coma kicks in.)"
"This week, the NFL formally announced all three headliners for the games' halftime shows. Two of the acts, Jack White and Post Malone, are representing their hometown teams, while one of them, Lil Jon, is a legend of the southern hip-hop scene. Honestly, you're going to want to have all these games on the TV, because halftime will be nothing but bangers. Never mind that no one will ever again top the glory of Creed playing "Higher" back in 2001."
"The Detroit Lions again host the 86th annual Thanksgiving Day Classic, playing against NFC North rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Last year, the Lions broke their years-long losing streak on Thanksgiving when they beat the Chicago Bears 23-20. Can the Lions embark on another winning streak like they had from 2004 to 2012? Right now the Packers have the edge over the Lions, being a notch above the Lions in the NFC North divison rankings."
Three NFL games will run on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, with two matchups in the early and mid-afternoon and a third kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET. The NFL announced halftime acts Jack White, Post Malone, and Lil Jon; Jack White and Post Malone represent their hometown teams while Lil Jon reflects southern hip-hop legacy. The Packers play the Detroit Lions at 1 p.m. ET on FOX in the 86th annual Thanksgiving Day Classic. The Lions ended a years-long Thanksgiving losing streak last season with a 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears, while the Packers currently sit ahead in the NFC North. Jack White is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and former White Stripes frontman who hails from Detroit.
