Cowboys-Giants, Packers-Dolphins reportedly to face of on Thanksgiving Day

The Dallas Cowboys will reportedly host the New York Giants this year for the traditional Thanksgiving Day game at AT&T Stadium. Dallas, the winner of their last two Thanksgiving Day matchups, last played the Giants for the holiday game in 2022 and won 28-20.

According to Matt Schneidman, the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers will have the late game on Thanksgiving Day. That game will be at Lambeau Field with an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The Chicago Bears will also be taking on the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, according to reports.

Dallas opens 2024 season versus Cleveland

The Dallas Cowboys learned this week that they’ll open the 2024 season with a road game against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns, who went 11-6 last season, also took a first-round loss in the playoffs, losing to the Houston Texans 45-14 without star quarterback Deshaun Watson. In the offseason, Cleveland acquired former Broncos first-rounder Jerry Jeudy to give Watson some extra firepower for 2024.

Broadcasting the game in his debut for Fox Sports will be NFL legend Tom Brady. Brady shared the news during an announcement on Monday night.

“Obviously, having the Cowboys on is a huge draw,” Brady said. “As America’s Team, that’s gonna get a little hard for me to say that all the time, understanding that they were the competition for a long time. But in this new role, I know how important the Cowboys are to this network.”

“They got great storylines. Dak Prescott, let’s see if he can finally come through, Micah Parsons, what a great player he is, and Coach [Mike] McCarthy,” he added. “I love covering them, I’ve been obviously going against them for a long time and now I get to tell everyone how great they are.”

Packers open season in Brazil against Eagles

The Green Bay Packers will play the 2024 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Green Bay has expected to face Philadelphia for weeks following the league’s announcement about the big international game in the opening weekend.

It is just the team’s second international regular-season appearance, following the Packers game in 2022 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The game will also mark the first time the Packers have opened the season against the Eagles since 2010.

“We’re looking forward to being a part of this historic matchup against the Eagles in São Paulo,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. “We’re excited to play in front of our devoted fans in Brazil and help build upon the international popularity of the NFL and the Packers. We had a great experience playing internationally for the first time a couple of years ago and we’re proud to be part of the league’s continued global growth.”
