The Dallas Cowboys accomplished two things this Thanksgiving: they won their first home game of the year and kicked off a winning streak. It wasn’t the most thrilling game ever, but Dallas took command in the third quarter and never let go. These five plays were especially worthy of thanks in getting to the finish line as victors.

The Cowboys got a field goal on the opening drive of the game, and the Giants responded with a touchdown to go up 7-3. Dallas needed to respond, but Chuma Edoga - who had just come in for an injured Tyler Guyton - drew a facemask penalty that backed the Cowboys up to second and 21.
