When is the last time the Dallas Cowboys won on Thanksgiving? (2022)

The Dallas Cowboys have played on Thanksgiving Day dozens of times, but when exactly did the Cowboys last win on Thanksgiving? Well, let’s just say the Detroit Lions aren’t the only team on a Thanksgiving losing streak at the moment.

The last time the Cowboys won on Thanksgiving Day was back in 2018 when they defeated the Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Redskins) 31-23.

In the years that have followed, the Cowboys have been on a losing streak falling to the Buffalo Bills in 2019, the Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Football Team) in 2020, and the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021. Given the team is on a bit of a hot streak this year, could 2022 finally be the year the Cowboys end their losing streak?

Who do the Cowboys play today?

This year, the Dallas Cowboys will face off against a division rival on Thanksgiving Day. On Thanksgiving, the Cowboys will go head-to-head with the New York Giants in the late afternoon game kicking off at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day record

Heading into their Thanksgiving Day game this year, the Dallas Cowboys have played 54 games on Thanksgiving. While they might be on a losing streak at the moment, the Cowboys actually have a winning record on Thanksgiving. Prior to their 2022 game against the Giants, the Cowboys have a Thanksgiving Day record of 31-22-1.

The team has had many ups and downs over the years, with their longest Thanksgiving winning streak lasting for six years — a feat they pulled off two times, first between 1966-1971 and then a second time between1980-1985.
