Thanksgiving 2013 football preview

Thanksgiving 2013 football preview: The Pilgrims would be proud to see this Thanksgiving Day lineup of NFL games on Thursday, Nov. 28, which begins on FOX with the Green Bay Packers at the Detroit Lions in an NFC North rivalry game. The Packers — who could still be without injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers, still nursing a broken collarbone — head to Ford Field in Detroit to try to get back on track against Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush and the division-leading Lions. Action then moves down to Dallas, where the Oakland Raiders visit Tony Romo and the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on CBS at 4:30pm ET. The day ends with the primetime game between two middling AFC North teams as Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers visit Joe Flacco and the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on NBC at 8:30pm ET.
