Bills Serve Cowboys Cold Dish on the Road, Win Thanksgiving Day Stunner, 26-7
FINAL: It’s a Thanksgiving win for the @BuffaloBills! #BUFvsDAL
For Cowboys fans on Thursday, it was yet another spoiled Thanksgiving side dish of football, as Dallas fell by double-digits for the fourth time in the last six Thanksgiving games, taken down by the Buffalo Bills, 26-15.
The day got off on a high note for the Cowboys when they drove down the field for a 75-yard opening drive that resulted in a Jason Witten 8-yard touchdown catch and a 7-0 lead.
But it was all downhill from there, as the Bills ran off 26 unanswered points, stunning the crowd at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Former Cowboys’ receiver Cole Beasley had a banner day against his old mates, catching 6 passes for 110 yards, including a 25-yard TD in the second quarter that got the Bills within one.

The Bills would reach deep into the playbook just before halftime when they pulled out a trick play that caught the Cowboys off guard. A reverse play was handed off to Bills receiver John Brown who then threw a pass to a wide-open Devin Singletary for a 28-yard TD that gave Buffalo a 13-7 lead at the break.
THANKSGIVING TRICKERY!

Ole Miss Loses Egg Bowl Following WR’s Mock Urinating Dog Celebration Leads to Penalty

It looked like the Egg Bowl was heading to a dramatic overtime conclusion between rivals Mississippi State and Ole Miss on Thanksgiving night when Ole Miss scored a touchdown with four seconds remaining to pull within one point of the lead.
And then it happened. Ole Miss receiver Elijah Moore went from being the hero after catching the touchdown to the ultimate goat when he mimicked a dog crawling and urinating in the end zone.
This Egg Bowl ending was INSANE 🤯
Ole Miss scored with 4 seconds left and had a chance to tie the game with the PAT.
After a flag for the excessive celebration moved the PAT back, the kicker missed wide right and Mississippi State held on to win the Egg Bowl 21-20.
The TD “celebration” drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which pushed the game-tying extra point attempt back 15 yards.
Ole Miss kicker Luke Logan would go on to miss the kick wide right and Mississippi State won in bizarre but dramatic fashion, 21-20.
Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up.
