All NFC Thankgiving

[BringBackThatOleTimeBoys]

• Chicago @ Detroit
• Philadelphia @ Dallas
• Seattle @ San Francisco

This may be a 1st - all three Thanksgiving games are in one conference, and divisional rivalries.

It was more likely it would be all NFC than all AFC - the bigger markets are NFC teams.

The powers that be were probably looking for TV ratings

Well it's also the first year were FOX and CBS are restricted to conference either. I think they tried making all Thursday gsmes divisional games as well so outside of next weeks Cowboys-Bears.
