Top 5 Thanksgiving Day games in NFL history
3. 2010: New Orleans Saints 30, Dallas Cowboys 27
This game appeared to be another Thanksgiving Day blowout when the Saints jumped out to an early 17-0 lead after one quarter. But after second-half touchdowns from Miles Austin and Marion Barber, the Cowboys trailed by just three points until a Tashard Choice touchdown gave Dallas its first lead of the game. However, there was too much time left on the clock for Drew Brees as he led New Orleans on a game-winning, 89-yard scoring drive to win the game, capped off by a touchdown pass to Lance Moore.
