Week 12 of the NFL season kicked off with a delicious Thanksgiving slate of Bills-Lions in Detroit, Cowboys-Giants in Dallas and Vikings-Patriots in Minneapolis. The three Thanksgiving games provide plenty of memorable holiday moments, including league-wide tributes to legendary former FOX Sports broadcaster John Madden and a halftime concert by the Jonas Brothers.

Speaking of paying respects to a legend, Lions linebacker Anthony Pittman showed up to Ford Field in a shirt depicting former wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
Williams with some Thanksgiving salsa!
Salsa is not usually a Thanksgiving dish. But it looks like Jamaal Williams is trying to make it a Thanksgiving dance after scoring the first touchdown of the day.
St. Brown dishes out helpings after score
The Lions staged a long second-quarter drive that culminated in a fourth-down touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown. After his score, St. Brown made sure to dish out Thanksgiving helpings to his teammates as part of his celebration.
Ford Field is LIT
The Lions took a 22-19 lead in the 4th quarter and the home crowd is going nuts:
