Introduction

The Thursday Night Football game is an NFL football game that is broadcast live on television on Thursday nights. This game is typically between two divisional rivals and is a way for NFL fans to get their fix during the week. The Thursday Night Football game has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many fans tuning in to watch their favorite teams play.

History of the Thursday Night Football Game

The Thursday Night Football game has been a staple of the NFL schedule since 2006, when the league introduced a primetime game on Thursday nights to kick off the season. The game has been played on Thanksgiving Day every year since, with the exception of 2012, when the game was played on Friday due to scheduling conflicts.

The Thursday Night Football game has seen its share of controversies over the years. In 2015, for example, the game was marred by a string of injuries to key players, including quarterbacks Tony Romo and Cam Newton. And in 2016, the game was moved from NBC to CBS after ratings for the NBC broadcast declined sharply.

But despite these controversies, the Thursday Night Football game remains one of the most highly anticipated games of the NFL season. So who’s playing in this year’s game?

How the Game is Played

In the Thursday Night NFL Football game, two teams of eleven players each compete to see who can score the most points. The game is played on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end, and the team that scores the most goals in the allotted time is the winner.

The Teams

The two teams playing in the Thursday Night NFL Football game are the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions.

The Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. The Bears have won nine NFL Championships, including one Super Bowl, and hold the NFL record for the most enshrinements in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers. The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise.

The Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. They are members of the National Football League (NFL) as a part of the NFC North division. The Lions compete in the National Football Conference (NFC) against other teams from around the league.

The team was founded in 1930 as the Portsmouth Spartans, an independent professional football team. The Spartans joined the NFL in 1931 as a charter member club. The team played its home games at Portsmouth’s Municipal Stadium from their debut season in 1930 until 1934. In 1935, they moved to Detroit and played their home games at Detroit’s Universal Stadium (later renamed Briggs Stadium) for the next 12 seasons. From 1946 to 1957, they played their home games at Detroit’s Tiger Stadium (later renamed Rouzan Field). In 1958, they moved to another stadium in Detroit, this time playing their home games at Michigan State Fairgrounds’ stadium (later named Kezar Stadium and then Candlestick Park). In 1961, they returned to Briggs Stadium (now Ford Field), playing there exclusively until 1975 when they moved into the Pontiac Silverdome on a permanent basis.

The Lions have won four NFL Championships (1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957), all before the Super Bowl era. They have only won one playoff game since 1957 which came during the 1991 season when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 38-6 en route to winning their first ever NFC Championship Game before eventually losing to eventual Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins 41-10 in Super Bowl XVI.
