This year, the Thanksgiving Day game carried a bit of extra meaning for the Dallas Cowboys. They were getting a chance to take on their arch rival, the Washington Redskins, in hopes of improving their win streak to 10 straight games. They wanted to do it in front of their home crowd on a holiday that made America’s team a real fan favorite.
For the Redskins, the game was a chance at revenge. They should have beaten the Cowboys in Week 2 of the regular season, but they were unable to do that. Unfortunately, they once again made too many mistakes and fell to 6-4-1 on the season with the loss.
