Thanksgiving Day features a tripleheader of games that will impact the NFC playoff picture, as four of the current top six seeds in the conference will be in action on the greatest of the football and food holidays.
The action kicked off at Ford Field, where the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions were defeated by the Green Bay Packers, 29-22.
The Dallas Cowboys cruised to victory over the Washington Commanders, 45-10, to stay within striking distance of the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles.
In the Thanksgiving night game, the Seattle Seahawks host the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) in the first of two matchups between the teams over the next three weeks that likely will determine the division’s winner.
