In addition to the NFL’s full day of football, Thanksgiving is a day to honor family being together.
During this tripleheader, the NFL will honor the late John Madden by beginning each broadcast with a Madden Hallmark.
“There’s no place I’d rather be on Thanksgiving than right here, right now, at a football game,” Madden says. “There’s just certain things that go together, the turkey, the family, the tradition, football, and we have it all today.”
The NFL Foundation will provide $10,000 to a high school or youth football program in the honor of the Madden Thanksgiving MVP chosen by each network. The NFL will use NFL Auction to auction off game-used items from the three Thanksgiving Day games for the second year in a row, with the earnings going to the new foundation.
