On Tuesday, April 21, the NFL released the schedule for its 2015-16 season. Among the 256 announced events was the league’s annual Thanksgiving evening game, which has remained a time-honored tradition for nearly a century. On November 26, the Chicago Bears will face off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in what will be Green Bay’s first Thanksgiving home game since 1923, when they prevailed over the Hammond Pros 19-0. The much-anticipated rivalry game will also present an opportunity for the Packers officially to retire the number of former quarterback Brett Favre, adding it to Lambeau Field’s Ring of Honor.
Led by quarterback Jay Cutler and new head coach John Fox, the Bears will strive to take down the Packers at 8:30 p.m. (ET). Earlier in the day, the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Detroit Lions at home at 12:30 p.m., followed by a showdown between the NFC South champions, the Carolina Panthers, and, representing the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys.
