Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks, eating a lot of
turkey, spending time with family, and most of all, the biggest tradition,
watching football.
The history of football on Thanksgiving dates back to 1920
and in 1934 the Detroit Lions played their first Thanksgiving game losing to
the Chicago Bears, 19-16. 26,000 tickets were sold two weeks prior selling out the game
at the University of Detroit Stadium. The 1934 Lions entered the Bears game
with a record of 10-1. The next year, the Detroit Lions won the 1935 NFL
Championship. Ever since then, football on Thanksgiving Day has become a
tradition that started in Detroit. Check out more of the history and
