↵National Football League
↵New England Patriots vs. New York Jets - 8:20 p.m. (TV/Radio: NBC/98.5 FM): A Thanksgiving full of NFL action will be capped off with a battle between AFC East rivals. The Patriots have taken a three-game lead in the division thanks to a four-game winning streak, which started with a 29-26 victory over the Jets on Oct. 21. In order to extend that streak to five, the Patriots will need to get past the Jets without the services of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who suffered a broken forearm in last week's blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts.
↵Houston Texans vs. Detroit Lions - 12:30 p.m. (TV: CBS): The AFC's best team takes on one of the league's most disappointing clubs to open the Thanksgiving NFL slate. Two of the league's top six offenses will be featured in the game. The 4-6 Lions hope to put an end to an eight-game Turkey Day losing streak, but it won't be an easy task against the 9-1 Texans.
↵Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys - 4:25 p.m. (TV: FOX): Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III returns to his home state for the first time since finishing his college career at Baylor. Griffin and the 'Skins face a Cowboys team that can move into a tie for first place in the NFC East with a win paired with a New York Giants loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
