It was a short week for the Dallas Cowboys as they prepare to host their annual Thanksgiving contest. This year, the opponent is the New York Giants, who are tied with the Cowboys in the NFC East standings with a 7-3 record. The teams seem to be heading in opposite directions after last week’s results, though.
Dallas went into Minnesota and thrashed the Vikings, while the Giants lost at home to the Detroit Lions. Both teams will have to have short memories and spend their time preparing their bodies for another game after playing just a few days ago. It’s been a rough go for Dallas on Thanksgiving recently, they have just three wins in their last 10 turkey day games and have lost three straight. The Cowboys and Giants have only met once on Thanksgiving, which the Cowboys won 30-3 in 1992.
