Thanksgiving Day games have been a tradition in Dallas since 1966, and the Chiefs have some history with turkey day games, too.

The Chiefs’ last game on Thanksgiving Day came in 2006, when they defeated the Denver Broncos 19-10 at Arrowhead Stadium. And it came with an historical footnote: That was the first game broadcast on the NFL Network.

The last time they played a Thanksgiving game in Dallas, though? That hasn’t happened since 1995, when the Chiefs fell 24-12. The next year, the Chiefs won at the Detroit Lions, the NFL’s other traditional Thanksgiving Day host, 28-24.

Kansas City was the site of Thanksgiving Day games in the AFL. The Chiefs played games at Municipal Stadium from 1967-69.

Although this year’s game in Dallas matches teams that are out of the playoff hunt at the moment — Kansas City is 6-5, Dallas 5-5-1 — they’re both coming off stirring Sunday afternoon victories. The Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 23-20 in overtime and the Cowboys overcame a three-touchdown deficit to beat the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles 24-21.
