In honor of a Cowboys season that it isn’t completely dead, just mostly dead, let’s take a look at the Cowboys worst Thanksgiving memories, the ones that really made you regret that second piece of pie. My guess is they can. Then, Tony Romo and Dallas stormed back, cutting the lead to 35-28 before Griffin and the ‘Skins held on for a 38-31 win. Eddie Lacy had a great game in his return to the starting lineup. The Cowboys hosted their first Thanksgiving game in 1966 and have played on every Thanksgiving since aside from two.

Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans: The Titans are playing for pride, the Raiders fighting for their playoff lives. Look for Amari Cooper to have a big day as well. The Packers are 9-1 ATS in their last ten games against the Bears, and 5-2 ATS in the last seven home games against Chicago. 500 record, including their last two against the Dolphins and Buccaneers. Matt Cassel came in for Romo and completed 13-of-19 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown and now he likely will start in place of Romo. But can they keep it going against a solid Colts team without Luck? Bucs get another upset win on the road.
The Eagles actually still have a shot at winning the NFC East because the other teams in the division have performed so poorly. They will be relying on the arm-talent of quarterback Jay Cutler who is the Bears best quarterback since Sid Luckman.
New Orleans Saints at Houston Texans: The Texans are on the move, the Saints can’t find a direction to go. Richards convinced the NBC Radio Network to carry the game nationwide on some 94 stations, making it the first-ever nationally broadcast NFL game. While remembering Clint Longley’s “mad bomber” game or Jason Garrett’s win against the Packers in 1994 subbing for an injured Troy Aikman is fun, we’re not here to do that. Texas residents will undoubtedly be checking out UT take on Texas Tech in a matchup that could have a big impact on recruiting decisions.
The mystery of the Panthers’ 10-game winning streak begins to unravel when you review their opponents in 2015. Jaguars 27 Chargers 20. Monday night football with two teams who have won just five games in 15 attempts. Lett gets a pass from eternal infamy because the 1993 Cowboys did not lose another game, reeling off eight straight wins on the way to their second consecutive Super Bowl. I don’t see them stopping here. Now, they’re on the outside looking in at the playoffs. They will not beat you in the air.
Both of these teams carry this proud tradition every year. The Eagles are just one game behind the Giants in the division and in the wild card race.
As far as the running game goes, the most intriguing situation is the one in the Bears’ backfield.
That was it. Dick Enberg called the game over on NBC, as had the ball stayed untouched, the play would have been whistled dead and the Cowboys would have won.
