The NFL's Thanksgiving Day slate ends with Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and a little bit of Lil Jon.
The Atlanta-born rapper is taking the field at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium for the halftime show during Thursday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, capping a day that included halftime performances by Jack White in Detroit and Post Malone in Dallas.
The action on the field should be fun, too. Burrow makes his return for a Bengals team that likely needs a miracle to still make the playoffs, while Jackson is looking to continue the Ravens' winning ways after a couple of bumpy offensive performances still gave way to victories.
Lil Jon won't spend nearly as much time on the field as Jackson or Burrow, but all eyes will be on the Grammy Award winner when halftime hits at the end of a long Turkey Day.
The Sporting News is tracking live updates and highlights from Lil Jon's Thanksgiving night halftime show during Ravens vs. Bengals. Follow along below as he takes the stage.

How long is the NFL Thanksgiving halftime show?
NFL halftimes last only 13 minutes in each game other than the Super Bowl, so Lil Jon won't have too much time to fit in his performance.
While the league roughly doubles that timeframe during the Super Bowl and may be flexible for Thanksgiving halftime shows, performances on the holiday in recent years have been brief. Dolly Parton only performed for seven minutes at AT&T Stadium in 2023, while Lainey Wilson and the Jonas Brothers each received about six minutes for their shows.
Albeit in a different venue, Lil Jon's performance will likely be between 6-8 minutes before the Ravens and Bengals return to start the second half.
