NBC will honor John Madden’s legacy when it opens its broadcast before the game between the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers.

Legendary football broadcaster John Madden helped make the turducken an NFL Thanksgiving Day tradition. Here’s how he did it.

John Madden will never be forgotten by NFL and EA fans and a video before the three Turkey Bust Gut games -- along with coins and patches -- will prove that

Prior to those games, a coin featuring a silhouette of coach Madden on one side (“Heads”) and a six-legged turducken on the reverse side (“Tails”) will be used for the coin toss. Additionally, a patch featuring a silhouette of coach Madden will be included on the jersey of each player at all three games.

Richie Zyontz has been an NFL producer for FOX since 1994 and is in his 23rd season as the lead producer. He has more than 40 years of experience covering the league and has produced seven Super Bowls.

John Madden’s love of football and family came through the most on Thanksgiving. On BC will continue to honor Madden’s legacy when it opens its broadcast before the nightcap between the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers.

In a heartfelt tribute to John Madden, NBC celebrated his love for football and Thanksgiving by taking the original Madden Cruiser on a nostalgic journey to Lambeau Field.
