 Since 2006, a third NFL game on Thanksgiving has been played in primetime.It originally aired on the NFL Network as part of its "Thursday Night Football" package until 2011; in 2012, the game was moved to NBC as part of its "Sunday Night Football" package.The night game never had any conference tie-ins, meaning the league could place any game into the time slot; since NBC took over the game in 2012, each night game has featured two teams in the same division.
