John Harbaugh wants permanent Thanksgiving Day game

Harbaugh wants permanent Thanksgiving game

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has admitted that he would like his side to play on Thanksgiving Day every season.

The Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys are the only teams in the NFL to play regular home games on the American holiday, but Harbaugh would like his side to become part of that permanent fixture.

"At any point in time the NFL and Roger [Goodell, NFL commissioner] want to make this tradition, wouldn't we all be for that in Baltimore?" Harbaugh told ESPN. "That would be pretty amazing. We'd love it."

The Ravens face their AFC North rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday.
