Commanders fans aren’t too pleased with the Cowboys disrespecting them on Thanksgiving.
While the Cowboys were beating down the Commanders on Thursday, Dak Prescott and the team ran to the Salvation Army Kettle in the endzone and pulled out turkey legs to eat on the sidelines.

After the game, Prescott revealed that the Cowboys were waiting until the game was in hand before eating the turkey legs and were confident they could score enough TDs to make it happen.

“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,” Prescott said. “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 make sure we’re up and the game was in hand.”
“If you watch I’m kind of like, ‘Is it time? Can we do it?'” Prescott said. “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.”
Commanders fans were sick to their stomachs over Dak’s disrespect.
The only thing more embarrassing than Dallas knowing they’d be up by enough to pre plan this? Dak said after the game they thought about getting the turkey legs on the previous TD but decided to wait because they knew they’d have another shot. Brutal. pic.twitter.com/vQLGyWx3sP
