The Cowboys first played on Thanksgiving Day in 1966, losing to the Cleveland Browns 21-17. However, they would quickly turn things around, winning their next four Thanksgiving games en route to their first Super Bowl title in 1971. From there, the Cowboys would go on to win 19 of their next 20 Thanksgiving games, including a stretch of 11 straight wins from 1977 to 1987. Their lone loss in that span came against the Miami Dolphins in 1984, a game which is best remembered for “The Catch” by Dolphins receiver Mark Clayton.
The Cowboys’ dominance on Thanksgiving came to an end in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as they lost four straight games on the holiday from 1998 to 2001. Since then, they have alternated wins and losses on Thanksgiving, with their most recent win coming against the Buffalo Bills in 2011.
