John Madden<\/strong> sadly isn’t around to enjoy Thanksgiving games anymore … but the NFL is still making sure his presence is felt on the holiday nonetheless, revealing this week teams will wear patches honoring the football legend throughout the day.<\/p>\n The Detroit Lions showed what their jersey adornments will look like in a post on X on Wednesday morning … and they’re pretty awesome.<\/p>\n The black-and-gold emblems feature a silhouette of Madden from his coaching days … and they’ll be displayed prominently on the front of teams’ uniforms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the Lions, the Packers, Cowboys, Commanders, 49ers and Seahawks are all expected to rock Madden patches as well.<\/p>\n The holiday, of course, was one of Madden’s all-time favorites … as he loved eating turduckens in the broadcast booth as well as handing out pieces of the chicken\/duck\/turkey combo to star players on the field.<\/p>\n The NFL began honoring Madden on the holiday last year with several cool tributes<\/strong> on gameday … and it announced this month it will expand on those with the jersey patches as well as a special Madden-themed coin for the games’ opening tosses.<\/p>\n As we reported, Madden passed away<\/strong> in 2021 — just a couple weeks after Thanksgiving. He was 85 years old.<\/p>\n
