Thanksgiving is the perfect time for family, food, and, of course, watching football. A pair of NFC East rivals lock horns on the gridiron in a classic Thanksgiving Day rivalry clash as the Washington Commanders travel to the Lone Star State to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday afternoon.
Having won four of their last five games, The Cowboys (7-3) head into the matchup fresh off a 33-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in their last outing in Week 11, with a 16-0 run in the fourth quarter that put the game to bed for good.
The Commanders (4-7), meanwhile, have crumbled after a decent enough start to the season, shooting themselves in the foot time and again, leading to their fourth loss in the last five games as they were beaten 31-19 by the struggling Giants in a game they only trailed and never led. As a result, they dropped to third in the NFC East, while they stand 12th in the NFC playoff picture.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the match, including what TV channel to watch it on, streaming details, and more.
