Best games of NFL's fourth quarter of 2024 season

before week 1 kicks off, these are what we'll be watching for the post-season race

The NFL’s homestretch usually brings out the best in teams and provides some of the best games of the season. 2024 promises to be no different. Here, we’ll wrap up our series of highlighting some of the top games of each week with the final six weeks of the 2024 season, starting with Thanksgiving Day.

Bears at Lions/Giants at Cowboys/Dolphins at Packers (Thursday, November 28)

We’ll group the three Thanksgiving games together as all three have some intrigue to them. The appetizer is an NFC North battle as No. 1 pick Caleb Williams faces last year’s NFC runners-up in Detroit. The middle course brings us a classic NFC East battle between the Giants and Cowboys. Then, for dessert, it’s Tua Tagovailoa against Jordan Love as the Dolphins take on the Packers. It's not a bad trio of games while we’re enjoying turkey.

Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs (Friday, November 29, 3:00, Amazon Prime Video)

The second edition of the NFL’s new Black Friday tradition takes a trip to Arrowhead for an AFC West battle between the Chiefs and Raiders. Last year, Vegas went into KC and stunned the Chiefs and Taylor Swift on Christmas Day. This time, they meet after everyone has started their Christmas shopping.
