It is currently known simply as the Fox Game Ball. Over that time, 41 players have taken home the award. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

As always, there is plenty of NFL football on the menu today to feast on before, during and after you sit down for dinner with your family. In the early contest, the Bears travel to Detroit to take on the division-rival Lions. The Bears will try to keep their slim playoff chances alive, while the Lions are simply hoping to have a healthy quarterback available. The second game looks like the main course, with the upstart 8-3 Buffalo Bills heading to Big D to take on the Dallas Cowboys, who are looking to bounce back from their loss last week to New England. Finally, the evening game will pit Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints against the Atlanta Falcons who, despite having a down season, were able to hand New Orleans one of its two losses.

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Inspired by John Madden, CBS began handing out the Turkey Leg Award in 1989 to the best player from the annual Thanksgiving prime-time game. In 1994, the award switched over to Fox when Madden began working there, and in 2002 it became the Galloping Gobbler Award once Madden's tenure at Fox was finished. It is currently known simply as the Game Ball. Over that time, 41 players have taken home the award. How many of those players can you name in five minutes? 

Good luck!
