Vikings said to be 'pretty likely' to face Eagles on Thanksgiving night at U.S. Bank StadiumWhat’s particularly interesting is that it would be a home game for the Vikings and, if it happens, would mark the first time Minnesota has hosted a Thanksgiving game.
*Here’s an interesting nugget from the SI media podcast that was posted on Wednesday: Host Jimmy Traina and guest John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal were talking about the NFL schedule and specifically Thanksgiving games, when Traina asked Ourand about the nightcap finale of the three-game slate.
“I didn’t actually write about this but I have heard that Minnesota vs. Philadelphia is one that’s in play,” Ourand said around the 32 minute mark, adding later: “It’s not dead set, but I’m told that it’s pretty likely.”
What’s particularly interesting is that it would be a home game for the Vikings, and it would mark the first time Minnesota has hosted a Thanksgiving game. Dallas and Detroit traditionally had a monopoly on Thanksgiving home games. The Vikings have played eight times on Thanksgiving, all on the road against one of those two teams, compiling an impressive 6-2 record in the process.
