"What a win on Thanksgiving Day! Cowboys fans like myself always worry which Cowboys team is going to show up: the team we can cheer for, or the team that will ruin dinner. I have witnessed some terrible performances by the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. From the Randy Moss revenge game, to Robert Griffin III owning AT&T Stadium, to watching Tony Romo go down in a blowout loss to the Carolina"
"Add in the fact that LB DeMarvion Overshown and CB Shavon Revel returned from injury, and the Cowboys' defense is a complete 180 from what we saw the first nine games. Dallas started with a convincing win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football, leading into a tough matchup with the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. After falling behind 21-0 early in the 2nd quarter, the season seemed lost. However, the defense finally tightened up, shutting out the Eagles for eight consecutive possessions"
Thanksgiving victory eased fan anxieties about inconsistent Cowboys performances on the holiday and added to celebrations with family. Past Thanksgiving losses included games against Randy Moss, Robert Griffin III, and an injury to Tony Romo. The Eagles' loss to the Bears dropped Philadelphia to 8-4 while the Cowboys sit at 6-5-1 and are now within striking distance of the NFC East lead. A three-game winning streak began after the bye when Dallas acquired DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson and saw LB DeMarvion Overshown and CB Shavon Revel return from injury. The defense transformed, enabling a comeback after falling behind 21-0 against the Eagles.
