The Indianapolis Colts are making a pitch to join the Lions and Cowboys as the NFL’s designated Thanksgiving teams.
Over the weekend, owner Jim Irsay said he’d “like a permanent Thanksgiving game”, although he admitted “Will we get it? Probably not.”
Of course, plenty of fans have called for the NFL to stop putting on the Lions and Cowboys every year. But Irsay says the owners “want to keep that in place, it’s almost half a century of tradition”.
