Thanksgiving Dud: Cowboys Drop Another At Home Against Bills 26-15
ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - There's not much to be said after this Dallas Cowboys loss except to call it a Thanksgiving dud.

The Cowboys started the game off strong by scoring a touchdown on their opening possession but were flat for the rest of the game.
After big chunk gains by Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys finished the opening drive with an eight-yard pass to from Dak Prescott to Jason Witten for a touchdown.

The Bills went on to score 26 consecutive points after Dallas' opening drive, including a 25-yard touchdown catch from former Cowboy Cole Beasley.

Cowboys kicker Brett Maher had a 35-yard field goal blocked at the end of the first half and then also missed a 47-yarder in the third quarter.
Left guard Connor Williams was also ruled out during the game after suffering knee injury.
