This past week we discussed how the Dallas Cowboys have never won consecutive Thanksgiving Day games under Jason Garrett as their head coach. They had an opportunity to do so this past Thursday and, well, they did not.
What about the week after Thanksgiving, though? In some years the Cowboys have had the mini-bye immediately following Turkey Day, but in four of the last five seasons they’ve had to wait an extra week for that as they’ve played on Thursday Night Football seven days after Thanksgiving.
The Cowboys typically play quite well during the week after Thanksgiving.
