The Detroit Lions began in 1930 as the Portsmouth Spartans before moving to Michigan in 1934, and their Thanksgiving Day home game has been a national tradition since that first Detroit season. A member of the NFC North, the club plays indoors at Ford Field in the city's downtown.
The Cincinnati Bengals were founded in 1968 by legendary coach Paul Brown, who returned to Ohio football after building the Browns up the road in Cleveland. Recognizable by their tiger-striped helmets, the Bengals play in the AFC North and host division rivals at Paycor Stadium on the banks of the Ohio River.
