I don't expect a repeat of this on Thursday at Jerry World, but ... Fish vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving has normally not gone well for the local professional football team. The Dolphins are 3-1 against the Cowboys on the holiday.
Nov. 22, 1973 Fish 14, Cowboys 7
Larry Csonka ran for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Nov. 25, 1993 Fish 16, Cowboys 14
The infamous Snow Bowl, and Leon Lett game. Cowboys led 14-13 until Lett touched that blocked field goal that Pete Stoyanovich turned into the game-winning kick. It was Jimmy Johnson's last loss as the head coach of the Cowboys.
If you care, this is too fun not to watch ...
Nov. 25, 1999 Cowboys 20, Fish 0
Dolphins QB Dan Marino threw five interceptions and was so bad he was replaced by Damon Huard. Troy Aikman threw for 232 yards and Emmitt Smith ran for 103 yards.
Nov. 27, 2003 Fish 40, Cowboys 21
Cowboys were 8-2 entering this game in their first year under Bill Parcells, and their season derailed starting with this game.

Fish are on a roll. No Marino or Nick 'satan' Saban, but they have been playing great lately. With the way the Dolphins have been playing coupled with how poorly the Cowboys played against Washington; I don't see the Cowboys winning this one.
We need this one too! Go Boyz!

The Cowboys better not blow this one.
They have a few easy games coming up and they need to win them all to have a shot at the playoffs.

This is the proper way for celebrate thanksgiving day. I'm happy to know that Dolphins own the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Thanks for sharing.
