Ranking: Best Thanksgiving games compared to WSH
Thanksgiving football games for the Dallas Cowboys have a rich and illustrious history; the inaugural Turkey Day game was played in 1966. In the hope that a large number of supporters would attend, former team president Tex Schramm consented to serve as host on this occasion. Indeed, he was correct, as 80,259 spectators packed the Cotton Bowl.
The franchise continued to host the yearly event until 1974. However, in 1975, the NFL awarded the Thanksgiving game to the St. Louis Cardinals; in 1976, it returned to Dallas; and in 1977, it moved back to St. Louis once again. But the game was added to the Cowboys’ home schedule permanently after low attendance and even lower TV ratings for the Cardinals games.
After forty years, Dallas has a 33-22-1 record going into their 56th Thanksgiving game. The squad has invited Washington to join in the celebrations for the eleventh time; on this holiday, they have an 8-2 record versus their division opponents. After winning the first six encounters, the Cowboys shared the final four.
Now that we have that established, let us rank the last ten Thanksgiving matchups between Dallas and Washington.
