The winning team of the Thanksgiving NFL games traditionally get to eat a celebratory turkey leg on national television after the win.
However, the Cowboys ate their turkey leg a bit earlier than that in their 45–10 win over the Commanders. After scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter, some of the Dallas receivers went to a Salvation Army kettle sitting beyond the end zone and dug out a turkey leg wrapped in foil for quarterback Dak Prescott to munch on.
Coach Mike McCarthy was shown smiling on the sidelines. Fans could tell he really loved the surprise celebration.
