| Chiefs play host to the Denver Broncos in a key AFC West matchup. Thursday will mark the first time since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 that three games will be played on Thanksgiving, and will mark the first time since 1977 that a team other than the Dallas Cowboys or Detroit Lions will host a game on the holiday. Kansas City had hosted Thanksgiving Day contests in the final three years prior to the merger, including a 31-17 win over the Broncos in the last such contest, on Nov. 27, 1969.

Atlanta stands a middling 5-5 through 10 games - a game off the pace of co- leaders Carolina and visiting New Orleans in the South, and in the midst of a five-team logjam in the chase for the NFC's two wildcard postseason berths. The Saints and Dallas Cowboys lead said logjam at 6-4 apiece, though both have head-to-head games remaining with their respective shared division leaders - Carolina and the New York Giants. The Falcons share .500 ground with Philadelphia and San Francisco. New Orleans fell into |

| (MySportsbook) - By the time the Dallas Cowboys sit down to their Thanksgiving table on Thursday night, they could be a first-place football team. Dallas enters its annual holiday matchup, which this year will feature a visit from the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in a deadlock with the New York Giants atop the NFC East. The Cowboys have made up ground quickly in the division race over the past month, with the team's change from Drew Bledsoe at Tony Romo at quarterback precipitating an impressive 3-1 ru |

Doak Walker won the Heisman Trophy in 1948. In the late 1950s, future Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith was a two-time All-American breaking every SMU passing record. In a wealthy city of big business and big money, SMU mattered, sometimes filling the Cowboys' home, Texas Stadium. The excitement and insanity probably peaked |

His QB rating of 100.0 is a half-point behind Manning for tops in the NFL. ``Being quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, you've got to have something extra - and he has it,'' linebacker Bradie James said.

| (MySportsbook) - The Dallas Cowboys knocked off the last unbeaten team in the NFL on Sunday, but don't crown them kings of the NFL just yet. Dallas pulled out a hard-fought 21-14 win and saddled the Indianapolis Colts with their first loss of the 2006 season. Indy entered Texas Stadium 9-0 with studs Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne among those dreaming of being a part of the NFL's first undefeated team since 1972. It was Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo who spoiled the plot, rallying his team |

There is, however, a slight chance to win the division after the New York Giants lost on Monday night at Jacksonville, falling to 6-4 and into a first- place tie with the Dallas Cowboys. As for the Eagles, so much for Week 10 accolades after pulverizing the division-rival Washington Redskins 27-3. The upcoming trek does not favor the Eagles by any means, as they take on 9-1 Indianapolis at the RCA Dome, followed by a home game vers |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -The theory was sound. Troy Aikman would throw deep passes, Joey Galloway would track them down and the Dallas Cowboys would rack up points and wins. The reality was a disaster. Galloway never caught a pass from Aikman. They played only one game together, the 2000 opener, and neither was around for the end of it. Aikman was knocked out early with a concussion and Galloway went out late with a torn knee ligament that ended his season. By the time the receiver returned in 2001, the qua |

After holding a two-game lead in the division, New York is now 6-4 and on Monday fell into a first-place tie in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys. Philadelphia is right behind at 5-5, but lost quarterback Donovan McNabb for the season.

| (MySportsbook) - Somewhere late Sunday night, after a 21-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Colts head coach Tony Dungy probably had a wry smile on his face. Not that he was happy about losing a game, but now Dungy and the Colts will not have to hear all the talk about an undefeated season. After opening the year with nine straight wins, the burden of trying to finish 16-0 is gone -- and probably happily so. Now the Colts can concentrate on things that really matter, improving as a team, winning the AFC South |
