Thursday games preview importance of game versus Buccaneers

I hope you gave enjoyed your Thanksgiving meal and spent quality time with loved ones today. As you may already know, NFL games on Thanksgiving has become an adorned American tradition.

At 12:30 pm, the New England Patriots rode the shoulders of Tom Brady to a 45 - 34 victory over the Detroit Lions. Brady finished the day with four touchdown passes and no interceptions. The Patriots defense forced Shaun Hill to throw two interceptions despite relinquishing 256 passing yards. The Patriots are now 9-2, guaranteed a winning record on the season.

At 8:20 this evening AFC North competitor, (8-2) New York Jets, are playing the undisciplined Cincinnati Bengals and have a probable chance of matching the Patriots' record. The AFC's crowded upper echelon of teams includes the Patriots, Jets and Ravens.

The Sunday afternoon match between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is more than just another cross-conference game without implications. The 7-3 Ravens must defeat the Buccaneers to keep pace in a indefinite playoff race and remain one step ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers who lurk only one-half of a game behind.
