It is Week 12 and the NFC East is still up for grabs for almost any team, including the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Football Team. Washington will be visiting the Cowboys for their second meeting of the season as part of the Thanksgiving Day NFL games.
Both teams are coming off much-needed wins, as Washington defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 20-9 and the Cowboys defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-28 last week.
While it may seem like it could be a snooze of a game, especially for the main event of the holiday schedule, both sub-.500 teams are fighting for the number one spot in the NFC East division. It will certainly be an interesting game to watch on Thanksgiving Day.
