This Thursday marks the start of Week 12 of the 2022 NFL season -- oh, and it's also Thanksgiving. Turkey Day typically means two things are on your TV: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Dallas Cowboys football.

If the latter is more your speed, don't look for the New York Giants - Dallas Cowboys game on Amazon Prime Video, because this Thanksgiving, football returns to network TV. Here's what you need to know if you want to catch the New York Giants - Dallas Cowboys game.

While you wait for Thanksgiving football to kick off, you should know this: Black Friday has come early this year. Amazon and Walmart are both holding massive early Black Friday sales today, with all sorts of incredible deals on everything from Super Bowl watch party essentials to the most popular gifts of 2022. Now's the perfect time to upgrade to a new 70-inch 4K Vizio TV ($448), or pick up a new Apple TV 4K streaming device ($80) to watch future football games.

Here are a few more must-see early Black Friday deals you can get right now:

The New York Giants play the Dallas Cowboys this Thanksgiving at 4:30 p.m. EST/1:30 p.m. PST on Fox. Here's our top picks for how to watch Fox if you don't have cable.
