Two long-standing rivals heading in separate ways are Washington and Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys and one of their most despised NFC East rivals continue their rivalry in the second of the three Thanksgiving Day games each year.
The Cowboys are the only team with less games played on Turkey Day than the Detroit Lions, and as both clubs play on this day every year, they will always lag behind them in that category.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are making waves on social media ahead of the big game because the team is just as much a part of the game as the players.
Thursday’s game between the Commanders and the Cowboys is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The Cowboys are favored by eleven points.
The Cowboys are coming off a 33-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers, while the Commanders are coming off a 31-19 setback against the New York Giants in their NFL Week 11 match.
Regarding Thanksgiving records, the Cowboys have a 32-22-1 record while the Commanders have a 4-8 record.
