The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will once again host Thanksgiving Day games in 2021, and the New Orleans Saints will join them when the NFL caps its Nov. 25 tripleheader.
The Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, and Buffalo Bills will serve as the visiting teams in those three contests, which air on FOX, CBS, and NBC, respectively.

Detroit and Dallas are staples of the league's Turkey Day programming. The Lions have hosted a Thanksgiving game annually since 1934, while the Cowboys have been summoned in all but two seasons since 1966.
The NFL expanded its Thanksgiving slate to a tripleheader format in 2006, and features two different teams in the nightcap each year.
