Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of the Week 13 grades!

Everyone loves Thanksgiving football and the NFL gave us three games on Thursday. The Turkey Day action started with a wild game in Detroit where the Lions escaped with a 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears. The victory ended a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving for the Lions while improving their record to 11-1, which now gives them the best start in franchise history. 

The second game of the day ended up being a good time for a Thanksgiving nap with the Cowboys taking down the Giants, 27-20, to pull off a season sweep of their NFC East rivals. 

The Thanksgiving nightcap took place in Green Bay where the Dolphins’ cold-weather struggles continued in a 30-17 loss to the Packers. 

With that in mind, let’s get to the Thanksgiving grades, starting with the Lions’ wild win. 

Detroit 23-20 over Chicago

Dallas 27-20 over N.Y. Giants

Green Bay 30-17 over Miami
