Rico Dowdle Dazzles as Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Hero in Thrilling 27-20 Victory Over Giants

Rico Dowdle Shines As Cowboys' Thanksgiving Player Of The Game In 27-20 Win Over GiantsIn a game where the Dallas Cowboys desperately needed a spark, running back Rico Dowdle stepped up to the plate, earning Thanksgiving Player of the Game honors after rushing for 112 yards in a 27-20 win over the New York Giants. 

For the first time since November 13, 2022, the Cowboys saw a 100-yard rusher, as Dowdle carried the ball 22 times, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. His performance included his first touchdown of the season, helping Dallas secure a much-needed victory and improve to 3-0 all-time against the Giants on Thanksgiving.

Dowdle’s impressive day gave the Cowboys a much-needed offensive boost. On the season, the veteran running back has rushed for 488 yards and added 29 receptions for 184 yards and three touchdowns. His consistency and ability to keep the chains moving were pivotal in securing this win.

With the victory, the Cowboys improved to 5-7, showing resilience after a tough stretch of games. The win comes at a critical point as Dallas now has some extended rest before preparing for a key Monday Night Football matchup in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who will face the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday.

As Dallas looks to finish strong, Dowdle’s performance will be remembered as a key highlight in their Thanksgiving triumph.
