Some great Thanksgiving Day football is in store for fans across the country. After the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions face off, and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Dallas Cowboys, fans will be treated a primetime show down between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens.
It’s sure to be a good game, as the Bengals are expecting the return of their star quarterback, Joe Burrow, who’s been out for weeks. Bengals fans are hoping Burrow’s return will save their season, as they currently have a record of 3-8 and sit in the third spot in the AFC North. As for Lamar Jackson’s Ravens, they have a more respectable 6-5 record, which leads the division.

The division matchup isn’t the only reason to tune into the game. Fans can expect some good music too during the telecast.
First up, Broadway star Renée Elise Goldsberry will perform the national anthem. Then, during halftime, Lil Jon will take the stage at the Bud Light Touchdown Club.
Lil Jon’s holiday is going to be a busy one, as he’s scheduled to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City earlier in the day. The players are just as excited as fans to see the rapper live. In fact, the Ravens posted a hilarious video of the athletes doing their best Lil Jon impression in celebration of his upcoming performance.
If fans plan to spend all day watching football, Goldsberry and Lil Jon’s performances will follow that of Jack White and Post Malone at the prior games of the day.
