The Lions have played every Thanksgiving since 1934, with the exception of 1939-44, despite the fact they haven't been a good team most of those years. The Lions played their first season in Detroit in 1934 (before that, they were the Portsmouth Spartans). They struggled their first year in Detroit, as most sports fans there loved baseball's Detroit Tigers and didn't come out in droves to watch the Lions. So Lions owner George A. Richards had an idea: Why not play on Thanksgiving?

The Dallas Cowboys are going to host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day in the United States. If you are here then you are likely well aware how the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving annually, something that is a part of our lives as Cowboys fans. You likely have a routine with how you spend the holiday. I'd imagine you have told your wife, or mom, or grandmother, or dad, or grandfather, or whoever handles the turkey wherever you are to have dinner ready.

We have reached a point where the Cowboys are 5-5-1, and while they just won consecutive games for the first time this season, they have yet to be north of .500 at any point in 2025. In fact, the Cowboys have not been north of .500 since Week 5 of last season when they were 3-2. It goes without saying that a win on Thanksgiving Day against the Kansas City Chiefs would continue to cure the sickness that surrounded the team,

Before the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys defense had become a liability, porous against the run, inconsistent in coverage, and unable to generate timely stops. However, following a series of key additions and returns, that narrative has shifted dramatically. The arrivals of DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson, paired with the return of LB DeMarvion Overshown and the debut of CB Shavon Revel, injected new life into a defense that had been terrible through the first half of the season.

At halftime on Sunday night, for all competitive intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season seemed to be over. Dallas trailed Philadelphia 21-0, and its lackluster first half looked like the nail in the coffin of its bleak playoff hopes. To everyone's surprise, the Cowboys climbed out of the 10-foot hole they had dug themselves, putting together a spirited performance in the second half.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton is unlikely to play on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a high ankle sprain suffered in the second half of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to multiple sources. While the injury is considered to be on the "milder" side of a typical high ankle sprain, the four-day turnaround makes it difficult for Guyton to be ready to play Thursday. The Cowboys will hold a couple of walk-through practices this week in order to get ready for the Chiefs.

There is no denying the fantasy football season is nearing its peak: the playoffs are approaching, the standings are solidifying, and the top players of the year have emerged. Still, these last few games before the postseason mean everything to those trying to improve their position or sneak into the playoff picture itself. The Dallas Cowboys roster has proven particularly helpful in this regard, as their plethora of fantasy-relevant options has carried teams through this season with big point totals; hell, even the kicker has been a fantasy weapon.

The defensive line for the Dallas Cowboys has seen many new faces so far in 2025. With Micah Parsons subtracted out, and Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams, Jadaveon Clowney, and Donovan Ezeiruaku added in, it has been quite the roller coaster of a ride for the defensive line through 11 weeks. It will likely look a little more different in Week 12 with Perrion Winfrey expected to make his Cowboys debut on Sunday.

"He's not going to play favorites with anybody," Jones told The Fan. "He felt very strongly (about) that, that was part of it. I think a lot of people thought they had to be together because they are great friends, but believe it or not, one was of the night before leading into the morning and the other one was missing the buses."
