The winning team of the Thanksgiving NFL games traditionally get to eat a celebratory turkey leg on national television after the win.
However, the Cowboys ate their turkey leg a bit earlier than that in their 45–10 win over the Commanders. After scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter, some of the Dallas receivers went to a Salvation Army kettle sitting beyond the end zone and dug out a turkey leg wrapped in foil for quarterback Dak Prescott to munch on.
Coach Mike McCarthy was shown smiling on the sidelines. Fans could tell he really loved the surprise celebration.
Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland cemented his place in NFL history on Thursday when he became the league’s all-time leader in pick-sixes in a single season.
During the fourth quarter of Dallas’ Thanksgiving Day tilt against the Commanders, Bland jumped the route on a pass from Sam Howell and returned the interception all the way to the end zone.
The pick-six was his fifth of the season, the most by any player in a single season in league history.

The Dallas defensive back set a new NFL record on Thanksgiving Day
Dallas Cowboys defensive back DaRon Bland is enjoying an incredible 2023 NFL season.
One that now includes a new NFL record.
In the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Commanders, Bland stepped in front of a Sam Howell pass intended for Jahan Dotson. After securing the interception the CB made a few would-be tacklers — including Howell — miss.
63 yards later Bland had his fifth Pick-Six of the season, a new NFL record.
Jordan Love and the Packers made a statement on Thanksgiving Day, delivering a big win over the rival Lions during the holiday’s early slate, 29-22.
Love has been locked in of late for Green Bay, a trend that continued on Thursday as he threw for three touchdowns, tying his season-high, and surpassed 250 passing yards for the third consecutive week.
Speaking to reporters after the win, the 25-year-old addressed the Packers’ confident mentality leading into their matchup against Detroit.
“We had their number,” said Love, via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns and Dallas CB DaRon Bland tallied a record 5th pick six this season in a Thanksgiving feast for the Cowboys.
Dolly Parton gave the performance of the century for Thanksgiving 2023 at halftime between the Dallas Cowboys–Washington Commanders and social media absolutely loved it.
The 77-year-old legendary singer dressed up as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader for her performance, and despite her age, absolutely went for it with her costume.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur nearly called off the big opening play that set the tone for quarterback Jordan Love, receiver Christian Watson and the rest of the team in Thursday’s win over the Lions.
The halftime show at the Cowboys‘ Thanksgiving game has featured a variety of performers over the years, but maybe none have been as popular as this year’s choice, Dolly Parton. The country music star appeared to be the right selection to sing for America during the holiday, as fans had nothing but love for her.
Parton sang hit songs “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” along with covers of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You,” all of which were popular among fans.
Lions coach Dan Campbell recently stated that Detroit fans should “wear a diaper” when watching the team because he likes to take risks on the field, specifically on fourth downs.
The team’s fourth-down risks continued on Thursday against the Packers, with some of the choices backfiring. In the third quarter, the Lions attempted to make a big play on a fourth down by faking a punt from their own 23-yard line. The Lions were stopped immediately and didn’t gain any yardage, giving the Packers the ball just outside the red zone.
