The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets game the day after Thanksgiving will go down in NFL history.
Not only will it be the first Black Friday game in history, but it will also be the first time any NFL game will be played on a Friday – a day usually reserved for high school football.
According to Peter King of NBC Sports, the game is expected to gain huge ratings, which could prompt several teams to petition the league to become the permanent host of the Black Friday game.
“Prediction: Viewings will be gold, and like the Cowboys and Lions during their annual Thanksgiving Day games, more than one team will lobby the NFL to become the permanent host of Black Friday afternoon.” said the king.
