It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the Dallas Cowboys taking the field. “America’s Team” faces the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Dallas (4-7) and New York (2-9) both enter the matchup with records under .500 and backups behind center. Cooper Rush is set to start at quarterback for the Cowboys, while Drew Lock is the man for the Giants. Tommy DeVito started last week for New York but is out because of a forearm injury. Lock hasn’t started a game since last December with the Seattle Seahawks.
Thursday marks the fourth time in the past 20 seasons that Dallas will play on the holiday three games under .500 or worse, according to ESPN Research. The Cowboys have lost each time but this game could be different. They hold a seven-game winning streak against their NFC East rival — tied for the third-longest active win streak by any team against a single opponent.
Follow along for live updates from the Giants-Cowboys matchup on Thanksgiving.
