When was the last time the Dallas Cowboys won on Thanksgiving?
The Dallas Cowboys are one of two teams that always play on Thanksgiving, the other one being the Detroit Lions.
This is a tradition that comes from a long time ago, since 1966, six years after their foundation.
The Cowboys have a positive record in Thanksgiving games, winning 32 of the 55 games played and losing 22, with the remaining two games ending in a tie.
When was the last Cowboys win on Thanksgiving?
The last time the Cowboys won a Thanksgiving game was in 2022 when they beat the New York Giants 28-20. The win snapped their three-game losing streak on Turkey Day.
In 2019, the Cowboys lost to the Buffalo Bills 26-15 on Thanksgiving. The year prior, with Prescott out with an injury, they racked up another loss, this time a 41-16 domination by Washington.
This year, the Cowboys take on Washington once again, though they're the heavy favorites to take this matchup.

Commanders vs Cowboys inactive
The Commanders-Cowboys inactives list was an intriguing one heading into Week 12. Washington RB Antonio Gibson was a major doubt, but he will suit up against Dallas.
For the Cowboys, third-string QB Trey Lance is out, while Deuce Vaughn will also play no part on Thanksgiving along with CB Noah Igbinoghene.
