The first NFL game on Thanksgiving for Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott offers the Dallas Cowboys players a chance to add their names to the league’s top rookie performers on this holiday.
Prescott, who leads rookies in Total QBR (84.5), passing yards (2,640) and touchdown passes (17), has averaged 264 passing yards per game. If he gets 256 passing yards today against the Washington Redskins, he would have the fourth-most passing yards among rookies in a Thanksgiving game.
Bob Waterfield posted the most passing yards by a rookie in a Thanksgiving game, 329 yards in 1945 with the Cleveland Rams.
