Thursday November 24th:
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions
The Vikings will face the Lions at 12:30 p.m. EST at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. Fans will be able to live stream on the official CBS web site at CBS Sports. If you’re old fashioned, then the holiday is a good chance to enjoy the game while watching the game on TV.

Will history repeat itself on the Lions’ territory? Tune in to find out!
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
The Redskins will go up against the Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. on EST at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fans will get a chance to watch this game, courtesy of the Fox network and it’s the perfect time to sit at home and do nothing but shout at the team as if they can hear you! You can also shout at your computer, if you decide to live stream using Fox Sports Go. The Cowboys won the first head-to-head matchup back in Week 2, when Dak Prescott led an 80-yard touchdown, which won the game in the fourth quarter. The Lone Star State might just take home another big victory!
Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts
The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Indianapolis Colts at 8:30 p.m. EST at Lucas Oils Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. These teams have two of the best quarterbacks in the league, making this game to be a must-see over the Thanksgiving holiday.
