the Dallas Cowboys Celebrate early Thanksgiving In the team’s dominant 45-10 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw 22 of 32 for 331 yards and four touchdowns and was later seen on the sideline eating a turkey leg, along with offensive lineman Zach Martin, with six minutes left in the game.

NFL history was also made in the game when Cowboys defensive back DaRon Bland intercepted Commanders’ quarterback Sam Howell on the far sideline with 4:49 left to play, taking the ball for his fifth “catch-six” — when a defensive player intercepts the ball. The ball and returning it for a touchdown – this year to set the NFL’s single-season record with six weeks remaining in the season.

“We have a lot of games to play as well, so who knows where he will extend this record?” Prescott said, according to ESPN.

“Like I said the first time you asked me about the guy – a great player: he prepares, does everything the right way.

“I can’t say I’m surprised he got the ball, but it’s amazing to watch him get those touches and be hungry to get into the end zone. Proud of him.”

“It’s amazing, especially on this day,” Bland added. Another thing to be thankful for.”

However, it was country music legend Dolly Parton who stole the spotlight on Thanksgiving, setting social media on fire as she performed at The Salvation Army’s 27th Annual Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show.

The 77-year-old performed some of her greatest hits, including “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

In addition to fans on social media, former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was also visibly impressed with Barton’s halftime show on the CBS broadcast.

“She looks amazing, doesn’t she? She’s amazing. Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?,” he said.

“She’s definitely an American treasure, that’s for sure,” broadcaster Jim Nantz responded.

Elsewhere on Thanksgiving, the Green Bay Packers kicked off Turkey Day by defeating the Detroit Lions 29-22 in the Motor City, while the San Francisco 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks 31-13.
