We've known for months the Lions would host the Vikings on Thanksgiving.

Thursday night, we finally got our hands on the rest of the NFL's schedule.

The Lions will play on national TV twice: Thanksgiving and on Monday Night Football in Dallas at the end of Week 16.

The Monday Night game will mark Detroit's sixth straight season with a MNF appearance.

The Vikings will make their fourth appearance in Detroit for Thanksgiving, and the annual game will be the 77th season with a holiday matinee.
