Tommy DeVito vs. Cooper Rush on Thanksgiving is cosmic punishment for the Lions greatness

On Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants will resume a rivalry that spans decades. Between them, these two franchises have won nine Super Bowls. They’ve faced each other 124 times, a history that helped convince the NFL to keep Dallas in a division called the NFC East despite whatever offense that may have caused for geography teachers.

The other end of the NFL’s Thanksgiving tradition belongs to the Detroit Lions. The Lions have spent 95 seasons as a pro team. They’ve never been to a Super Bowl.
