Cowboys vs. Giants: Can Dak Prescott Key Dallas Feast? Thanksgiving Preview
In the second game of a Thanksgiving NFL triple-header, the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants in a NFC East showdown from Arlington. With a short four-day turnaround, the Cowboys hope to feast on the Giants for a season series sweep in a rivalry that dates back to 1960.

Micah Parsons stole the show on defense with two sacks, giving him 10 for the season. Parsons lead the NFL with five multi-sack games this year. ... and Dallas' 42 sacks leads the NFL.
The Cowboys defense will have their hands full with Saquon Barkley, who has nearly rushed for 1,000 yards through 10 games, and added six touchdowns and 200 receiving yards.
However, Barkley was limited to a season-low 22 yards in an upset home loss agains the Detroit Lions The Giants turned the ball over three times in the 31-18 defeat.
