Americans will once again enjoy their Thanksgiving feast with a heaping side of football. As usual, Detroit and Dallas will each host a game on Turkey Day. The Lions take on the Packers at 11:30 on CBS  and the Cowboys welcome the Raiders at 3:30 on FOX. Then later on at 7:30 the Ravens will host the Steelers on the NFL Network.

This year, while you're sitting on the couch digesting and debating whether it was actually yams or sweet potatoes that you ate, you can drop a little Thanksgiving football knowledge on your family and friends.

 

Here are some interesting tidbits you can share, providing you're not fast asleep.
