Who is the Dallas Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving Day 2010?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For years, the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day opponent pretty much depended on which network televised the game. FOX, the network of the National Football Conference, and CBS, which focuses on American Football Conference games, usually have alternated their November holiday schedules every year.

The same formula also was true for the early Thanksgiving Day game hosted by the Detroit Lions. If FOX televised the early game, then CBS got the late afternoon game in Dallas.

But things have loosened up a bit. In 2015, all network games played on Thanksgiving featured NFC teams. FOX televised the Philadelphia Eagles-Detroit game. CBS did the Carolina Panthers-Dallas game. And NBC televised an evening contest between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers.

What years did the Miami Dolphins play on Thanksgiving in Dallas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Miami Dolphins have made five appearances in Thanksgiving Day games on the home turf of the Dallas Cowboys. The most notorious contest was the "snow game" on Thursday, November 25, 1993, when the Cowboys apparently had held onto a 14-13 lead by blocking a Miami field goal in the final seconds. But the Dolphins gained second life when hard-luck Dallas defensive tackle Leon Lett touched the ball and made it live, enabling the Dolphins to recover it. Miami placekicker Pete Stoyanovich then kicked a 19-yard field goal, giving the Dolphins an unforgettable 16-14 win. Miami has a 3-and-2 record in the holiday contests. Here are the results (Miami victories in bold):

  • Nov. 22, 1973 -- Miami 14, Dallas 7 (at Texas Stadium).
  • Nov. 25, 1993 -- Miami 16, Dallas 14 (at Texas Stadium).
  • Nov. 25, 1999 -- Dallas 20, Miami 0 (at Texas Stadium).
  • Nov. 27, 2003 -- Miami 40, Dallas 21 (at Texas Stadium).
  • Nov. 24, 2011 -- Dallas 20, Miami 19 (at Cowboys Stadium).

Asked by Wiki User

They play on Thanksgiving because it was a tradition when the idea started. The Coyboys and Lions would always be the one's player and will always be at home. Also, if it changed fans would be disappointed in the lack of NFL tradition.
