Dak PrescottDallas CowboysDaron BlandNFLSportsWashington Commanders Cowboys Triumph Over Commanders, Marking 13th Consecutive Home Victory on Thanksgiving by Andrew Wright November 24, 2023 written by Andrew Wright November 24, 2023 5 comments Bookmark 25 In an impressive NFL feat, DaRon Bland achieved a new record with his fifth pick-six of the season, while Dak Prescott’s four touchdown passes fueled the Dallas Cowboys’ dominant 45-10 win over the Washington Commanders during the Thanksgiving showdown. Elevating their home game winning streak to a remarkable 13, the Cowboys (8-3) witnessed their longest stretch of home victories since a record set over four decades ago, when they achieved 18 consecutive wins between 1979 and 1981. Despite a less commanding lead entering the final quarter compared to their previous four home games this season, Dallas eventually matched a team record from 55 years ago, securing their seventh win with a margin of at least 20 points. The Cowboys’ defense, after allowing over 200 yards for the first time in three games, regained composure in the latter half, halting the Commanders’ advances on fourth down on three occasions. Commanders’ quarterback Sam Howell passed for 300 yards and scored a rushing touchdown. However, a crucial fourth-down sack at their 24-yard line paved the way for CeeDee Lamb’s touchdown and 2-point conversion, extending Dallas’ lead by 21 points. The Commanders (4-8) faced their eighth defeat in their last ten games, falling to a 2-9 record against their NFC East adversaries, particularly on Thanksgiving matchups. Prescott achieved 331 passing yards, marking his fifth successive game with at least two touchdown passes, just one short of his personal best. Rico Dowdle, Brandin Cooks, and KaVontae Turpin also contributed to the Cowboys’ scoring tally. Bland’s highlight moment came in the final quarter, intercepting Howell’s pass aimed at Jahan Dotson and executing a deft run along the sideline, evading the Commanders’ quarterback before securing the touchdown. Bland entered the match equaling the NFL record held by Eric Allen (Philadelphia, 1993), Jim Kearney (Kansas City, 1972), and Ken Houston (Houston, 1971). Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey continued to show inconsistency, missing an extra point for the second game in a row. Despite this, Aubrey maintains an NFL record with 22 straight successful field goals since the start of his career, including a 52-yarder in this game. Injury updates include Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr., who was checked for a concussion but cleared to play, while Dallas S Jayron Kearse was sidelined due to a back issue. Looking ahead, the Commanders will host Miami on December 3, their sole game before a bye leading up to December 17. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will face Seattle next Thursday, continuing their streak of home games.
