The NFL's Thanksgiving Day slate ended with Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and a little bit of Lil Jon.
The Atlanta-born rapper took 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 is fun, too. Burrow made his return for a Bengals team that likely needs a mini-miracle to still make the playoffs, while Jackson aimed to continue the Ravens' winning ways after a couple of bumpy offensive performances still gave way to victories.
Lil Jon didn't spend nearly as much time on the field as Jackson or Burrow, but all eyes were on the Grammy Award winner when halftime hit at the end of a long Turkey Day.
AllSportsPeople tracked live updates and highlights from Lil Jon's Thanksgiving night halftime show during Ravens vs. Bengals. Check out the moments you might have missed.

Did Lil Jon bring more firepower than the Ravens on Thursday? Some believe so.
Unlike the Ravens offense Lil Jon brought the energy tonight. #RavensFlock

Maybe Lil Jon can go and yell the halftime speech in the ravens locker room. It might help?

Others were just unhappy NBC only showed a brief snippet of the performance.

Lil Jon halftime show start time
- 9:45 p.m. ET (approximate time)
There is no official start time for the halftime show, as it depends completely on the pace of the game, but viewers can expect the Ravens and Bengals to reach halftime as early as 9:40 p.m. ET and as late as about 10:00 p.m. ET.
AllSportsPeople will provide updates above as halftime approaches.
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.
