NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Before the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts square off Sunday, they'll feast on Thanksgiving Thursday like the rest of America.
Let's take a look at some of their favorite Thanksgiving meals. Some might not differ much from your family; others might be very different.
Titans QB Marcus Mariota
Mariota said he won't limit how much he can eat Thursday, and he's looking forward to a special family dish to cap it all off.
"My grandmother makes this cranberry dressing. It's more of a dessert. She passed it on to my mom and my mom passed it on to my girlfriend to have. It's really good. A lot of bad stuff in there. It's enjoyable and I look forward to it."
Titans DL Jurrell Casey
Casey has transitioned primarily to a vegan diet, so his Thanksgiving will be different than it was last season. He says it doesn't affect which foods he eats as much as how they are prepared.
"You don't have to get rid of everything. You're still going to have your greens, you're still going to have your mac and cheese, black-eyed peas and yams," Casey said. "You use almond or soy milk instead of regular milk. Vegan cheese instead of Kraft cheese. The taste will be a little different, yes, but you still get everything you want."
"I'm still going to grub."
Charity Morgan, wife of Tennessee linebacker Derrick Morgan, will be making the main portion of the meal. Casey knows soy turkey will be involved.
Titans WR Harry Douglas
Douglas is planning a big Thanksgiving, with a lot of his family and his wife's family in town for the holiday. Douglas even invited a few Titans teammates over. They'll have a medley of dishes from turkey to ribs to greens. Douglas' favorite dish, however, is pot roast.
Titans FS Kevin Byard
Byard, the NFL's leader in interceptions, likes mac and cheese, but only if it's done right.
"If I pour the mac and cheese, it can't just fall out of the pan," Byard said. "I don't like the sloppy mac and cheese. It's gotta kind of be hard. I don't like soggy mac and cheese."
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano
The most unusual response came from outside the Titans locker room. Pagano said he eats turkey and stuffing, but didn't hesitate to tap his Italian heritage in naming spaghetti and meatballs his favorite Thanksgiving dish.
"If some spaghetti and meatballs happen to make the table, which happened a lot in my house growing up and still happens a little bit here and there, then I'm good with all of it," Pagano said.
Titans players, coaches, front office, staff and cheerleaders spent Tuesday night serving food and interacting with an estimated 600 members of Nashville's homeless community. Head coach Mike Mularkey, general manager Jon Robinson and community-relations director Tina Tuggle presented a $25,000 check to the Bridge Ministry, an organization that ran the event and hosts weekly services to help those in need.
