Nothing says Thanksgiving like the NFL tradition featuring the Dallas Cowboys on Turkey Day for a marquee matchup in the regular season. This year, it's one of the most highly anticipated Thanksgiving showdowns to date when Dallas welcomes the Kansas City Chiefs to AT&T Stadium.
The Week 13 clash marks the 58th time Dallas will take the field on the holiday. Dallas' first-ever Thanksgiving game was in 1966, and they have played in every game since then -- with the exceptions of 1975 and 1977.
Throughout history, the Cowboys have a 34-22-1 record, a winning percentage of .605. Dallas has won two consecutive games on Thanksgiving Day, with wins over the New York Giants in 2022 and the Washington Commanders in 2023.
