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.

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.

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.
