The Cowboys play every year on Thanksgiving, so it's no surprise for them or their fans. However, the Eagles play on the holiday far less often. 

The contest will be just the eighth all-time game on Thanksgiving for Philadelphia and the third ever game against Dallas on the holiday. The last Thanksgiving matchup between Philadelphia and Dallas came back in 2014. The Eagles won that game 33-30. 

Overall, The Eagles are 6-1 all-time on Thanksgiving. They'll look to make it 7-1 later this year.
