However, Commanders fans weren’t in a festive mood as the Cowboys appeared to disrespect them on Thanksgiving. While dominating the Commanders, Dak Prescott and the team headed to the Salvation Army Kettle in the endzone, pulling out turkey legs to enjoy on the sidelines.

Post-game, Prescott disclosed that the Cowboys had strategically waited until the game was firmly in their control before indulging in the turkey legs. They were confident in their ability to score enough touchdowns to make it happen.
Prescott explained, “We talked about it as probably a 2-3 daylong process of whether it be a 15-yard penalty and whether [coach Mike McCarthy] would accept it. I actually go talk to coach before every game, and sure enough, I caught him as he was talking to [owner and general manager Jerry Jones], and so I mentioned it. Of course, Jerry liked it, so, yeah, at that point, my direction was just to make sure we’re up and the game was in hand.”
He further added, “If you watch, I’m kind of like, ‘Is it time? Can we do it?’ I’m like, ‘No, we’ll get another one.’ Sure enough, right after I threw the one to Turp I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’ And so, it was good.”
Despite the Cowboys’ easy win, Commanders fans were left feeling disrespected. Nonetheless, Dak Prescott, accustomed to criticism throughout his career, couldn’t resist celebrating the victory in his own way.
