It’s time for the annual Thanksgiving Day game for the Dallas Cowboys and this year America’s Team will host the New York Giants while you’re eating dinner or fending off a nap with tryptophan coursing through your system.

This past week was a different one for Dallas as they picked up a win, and a week on the road against a division rival in the Washington Commanders. Should they beat the Giants, the positive feelings will really start flowing, along with the Christmas spirit that will start this weekend and continue for a while while Dallas doesn’t play again for another week and a half.

As the game develops, we’ll provide quarterly updates here with everything you need to know, including highlights of the biggest plays. At the end of the game we will sort everything so that it can be read chronologically as a complete summary of the game.

Enjoy the game, Happy Thanksgiving and let’s go Cowboys!
