FOX is in the middle of pushing the World Cup as hard as it can.
However, it’s unlikely futbol will provide the network with the bragging rights football offered on Thanksgiving.
The New York Giants’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys was far from a slobberknocker.
Doesn’t matter when you put America’s Team on the holiday schedule in a game against an NFC East rival.
There were 42 million people tuned into Dallas’ 28-20 victory, making it the most-watched regular season NFL game in TV history, according to FOX Sports.

It was a huge day for watching football as the Bills-Lions game on CBS averaged 31,627,000 million viewers and peaked at 41,981,000 viewers.
