Now, they know who they\u2019ll play on Thanksgiving at AT&#038;T Stadium. It\u2019s another NFC East opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas has played Philadelphia twice on Thanksgiving in the past, it hasn\u2019t gone in their favor. The Eagles beat the Cowboys 27-0 in 1989 in the infamous \u201cBounty Bowl\u201d during Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson\u2019s first season as head coach in Dallas. Their last matchup on Turkey Day came in 2014 when the Eagles won 33-14.<\/p>\n<p>This decade, the Cowboys and Eagles have split their 12 meetings. They\u2019ve split the season series four times over those six years, and each team has swept the other once. With this game landing on Thanksgiving, it\u2019s likely that NFC East and playoff implications will be heavily involved. The Cowboys and Eagles should be the favorites to win the division heading into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Loading comments<\/p>\n<p>Getting the conversation ready&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggingtheboys.com\/dallas-cowboys-schedule\/205116\/thanksgiving-day-opponent-philadelphia-eagles\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Matthew Lenix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skip to main content The Cowboys will host the Eagles on Thanksgiving Day!
