By Randy Gurzi
As we get ready to enjoy the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, we look at five things from the 2018 Season to be thankful for
We are just about to the Dallas Cowboys annual Thanksgiving Day game, and this year there are some big stakes up for grabs. The Cowboys have reeled off two huge road wins in a row and now head back to AT&T Stadium where they’re 3-1 on the season.

At 3-5, things felt bleak and the Cowboys looked prime for an implosion.
