They won their very first game on the holiday back in 1972, but lost their next two Thanksgiving games in 2011 and 2014, the latter of which was against their opponents on this year's holiday, the Seattle Seahawks.
But 51 years after their first win, Turkey Day was victorious in the Bay Area, with the Niners throttling their NFC West rivals, 31-13.
