And Harbaugh's kids didn't like it. So now, they don't want to eat turkey for Thanksgiving.

"We were watching the Sunday Night Football game—we were planning on having turkey—but then they showed this piece where they were showing all the turkeys and everything and my son Jack and Katie and Addie [were like], 'Look at the turkeys. Look at all the turkeys there.' And they were getting excited looking at the turkeys," Harbaugh explained earlier this week. "And then the next shot was they had loaded the turkeys onto a truck and they were driving them away and the kids were like, 'Where are they going?' And we kind of thought maybe we won't have turkey this year for Thanksgiving…We'll have tofu or something."

Tofu? For Thanksgiving? Ugh. Look what you did, NBC! We hope you're happy!
