The Detroit Lions have hosted the NFL’s Thanksgiving Classic every year since 1945. Detroit was the only team to do so until the Dallas Cowboys began hosting their game in 1966. The format was then changed again in 2006, when the NFL scheduled a third Thanksgiving game that would rotate between different teams to highlight key matchups of that week. In the 71 games that the Detroit Lions have hosted on Thanksgiving Day, they currently have a record of 33 wins, 36 losses and two ties. This year's Thanksgiving opponent, the Green Bay Packers, have played on Thanksgiving Day 33 times, with 13 wins, 18 losses and two ties.
