Cowboys officially eliminated the Giants from playoff contention on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day was a fun one for the Dallas Cowboys as they picked up their second win in five overall days and in the process got rid of a lot of bad statistics that were hovering around them. Thursday marked the first win at home of the season, and also had a running back run for a touchdown at AT&T Stadium for the first time this season. From a rushing perspective, Rico Dowdle, the touchdown scorer, even had over 100 yards rushing, the first time since Week 3 of last season that a Cowboys rusher accomplished that.

Getting rid of all that funk is a euphoric feeling which is why this weekend sets so nicely up to be a Cowboys fan. Times are a bit more tough on the other side of the game though, as the New York Giants have lost seven straight games. The G-Men have lost eight consecutive games against the Cowboys specifically, though.

To make matters worse, by defeating them on Thanksgiving the Cowboys officially made the Giants the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention this season.

The Giants would hold the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft if the season ended today so there is at least some solace in their suffering. But it will never, ever get old to put a division rival through the ringer which is what the Cowboys have been doing to the Giants a lot as of late.
