NFL Thanksgiving grades: Vikings, Kirk Cousins get a prime-time 'A-'; Cowboys, Bills shine in comebacks - CBS Sports

The NFL certainly had a strong Thanksgiving slate in store this season, which made the annual holiday games even better than most years.

The combined record of the six teams playing this Thanksgiving is 39-21, and the .650 win percentage between the teams is the second-highest since the Thanksgiving schedule went to three games.

Fans were treated to a thriller in the first game of the day, as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills held off the Detroit Lions with a last-second field goal in a back-and-forth affair that was a Thanksgiving classic.

The Bills were able to counter that slow start by running for 164 yards and averaging 5.7 yards per carry (Allen had 10 of the 29 carries). Tyler Bass missed an extra point that could have cost Buffalo with 2:40 left in the game, keeping the Lions down by only a field goal, but made up for it with the winning 45-yard kick.

The Lions certainly aren't a pushover anymore, as they had a golden opportunity to end their five-game losing streak on Thanksgiving Day while extending their three-game winning streak

Brown with 37 seconds left in a 25-25 game -- letting the clock run 10 seconds before a review was made by the officials to determine if the Lions got a first down

The Lions could have ran a play, got the first down, called a timeout, and had another set of downs for a closer field goal situation -- or go for the winning touchdown -- and kept time from running off the clock. 

Campbell could have called a run play on third-and-1 or have Goff go underneath and get the first down (the Lions still had two timeouts left)
