The NFL is an annual staple of Thanksgiving Day in the United States of America. One of the two teams that has a home game on Thanksgiving Day every NFL season is the NFC North’s Detroit Lions.
The Lions (6-4) will be hosting their NFC North nemesis in the Minnesota Vikings (6-4). Whomever wins the second annual meeting of these two rivals at Ford Field on Thursday afternoon will be in first place atop the NFC South Standings.
Detroit is rarely this good this late in the season. However, the Lions organization always does a phenomenal job of hosting one of the Thanksgiving Day games. Who will be singing at halftime during the Vikings/Lions game on Thanksgiving Day?
