The Green Bay Packers embarrassed the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 in Sunday’s NFC wild-card round to send the second-seeded Cowboys home early. It was Dallas’ first home loss of the season.
The loss had social media buzzing about the future of head coach Mike McCarthy. While McCarthy is 67-42 with two NFC East championships in four seasons as head coach of the Cowboys, he’s also 1-3 in the playoffs. And, well, you never know with owner Jerry Jones.
Meanwhile, fans of the Washington Commanders were certainly enjoying Sunday’s festivities at Jerry World. Not only did the Cowboys sweep the 4-13 Commanders in the 2023 regular season, but it was the 45-10 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day that fans remember the most.
After the Cowboys blew the game open in the fourth quarter, quarterback Dak Prescott and others were seen on the sideline eating turkey legs. Washington fans were more upset than the players, who didn’t seem to take care all that much that they were thoroughly embarrassed.
On Sunday, Commanders’ Twitter was enjoying the moment.
Here are some of the best reactions from fans, media and more.
Happy Thanksgiving! #NFCWildCard #NFLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/OEwJd5KjTj

I’m a proud Commanders fan. I promise you there ain’t nothing a Cowboys fan can say to me to hurt my feelings right now. I know we ass, but the whole world just saw yall get SHHMOKED at home 🤣

As a @Commanders fan I am so torn here. Because of course I want Dallas to lose and am loving what I am seeing from Green Bay. But … if they do lose this game, there’s a chance they fire Mike and hire an actual good coach which would be bad for Washington.
