Chicago Bears lead series 103-75-5
Over the league’s first eleven seasons, between three (in 1929) and eight games (in 1926) were played on Thanksgiving day. Five times in the six years between 1931 and 1936, the league featured three Thanksgiving contests, each typically featuring the New York Giants, the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Cardinals – an ancestor of the modern day Arizona Cardinals.
In one of the games in 1934, the Bears defeated the Detroit Lions by a score of 19-16. This was a huge game at the time, as the Bears would go on to finish that regular season a perfect 13-0, with the 10-3 Lions finished behind them in second place in the league’s Western Division. What no one knew at the time, however, was that the contest was also of massive historical import. This was the first time the Lions had ever played on Thanksgiving. They’d do so again each of the next four years, before a six-year hiatus (1939-44) due to World War II… and, come kickoff on Thursday, will have done so, as the home team, in each of the 77 Thanksgivings since!
