The Dallas Cowboys started hosting Thanksgiving Day games in 1966. The NFL has been playing Thanksgiving Day games since the twenties. Contrary to popular belief the Cowboys were started as an expansion team in 1960. The Lions have had the game since 1934 (exept the years 1939-1944), and the Cowboys have hosted a game each year since 1966(excluding 1975 and 1977 when the St. Louis Cardinals hosted the game).
The tradition started in 1902. In this time there were only three teams in the NFL. Two of the teams were based in Philadelphia, while the third was based in Pittsburgh.

Why doesn't Brazil celebrate Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the United States to commemorate a feast held in 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. Correction: Thanksgiving is a North American holiday celebrated by the United States and Canada. Brazil does not celebrate it because it is not part of their traditions. Thanksgiving in the U. S. does NOT commemorate the Pilgrim's feast at Plymouth in 1621. Thanksgiving is a holiday to express thanks to God, friends and family for the blessings of the previous year. The holiday was first celebrated in New England as Puritan religious observation declared in various years in response to "God's favorable Providence". It evolved over the years into a quasi-secular, annual New England autumnal celebration. It did not become a national holiday until Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November an annual day of thanksgiving in 1863, noting that this should be marked as "a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens". (The date was changed to the 4th Thursday in November by Franklin Roosevelt in 1941.) The 1621 Plymouth feast did not become connected in the popular imagination with the holiday until the 20th century, when it became a popular story to tell school children. The first Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated by the explorer, Martin Frobisher, who in 1578 held a feast in Newfoundland to give thanks for surviving an attempt to search for a Northwest Passage to the Pacific. Various Thanksgiving celebrations were declared to celebrate special events until 1879, when it became an annual holiday. The date changed several times until Parliament declared the second Monday in October the Thanksgiving holiday in 1957. The colonial power that settled Brazil, Portugal, shares along with England and the rest of Europe a long tradition of various harvest festivals and feasts of thanksgiving. The holiday simply never evolved in Brazil as it did in North America.
