Is there any tradition more American than tuning in to Thursday night football after a long day of turkey, family, and pumpkin pie? 2022 set another turkey day record, with 42.1 million viewers cheering for the Giants and the Cowboys, up 3% from the previous year’s big game.

Here’s what we learned about them, and what you should know if you’re trying to target this audience with marketing that will connect and convert. Spoiler: while some data seemed to track with expectations, like their penchant for fantasy sports, this group may care more about social impact than you would have assumed.
