The 2015 NFL schedule was released at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and it's time to look ahead to some of the juiciest matchups on the docket.
The Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 26. It's the first Thanksgiving home game for the Packers since 1923.
The Packers will mark the special occasion in a very special way. The team will retire Brett Favre's No. 4 jersey at the game, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Favre last played for the Packers in 2007. After a few very rocky years, Packers fans have largely come to forgive the NFL's all-time leading passer for "defecting" to the hated Minnesota Vikings.
