The Cowboys moved to 8-3 with a win over the Commanders
The Dallas Cowboys continued their tradition of playing on Thanksgiving, but it was the halftime show that stole headlines.

Parton performed at midfield dressed in the iconic Cowboys cheerleader outfit and sang some of her hits.
The country music star performed "Jolene" and "9 to 5," as well as her own rendition of "We Are the Champions" by Queen.
It was the second time in less than a week that Parton was seen on a football field, as she joined NFL great Peyton Manning for Tennessee’s game against top-ranked Georgia on Saturday.
Parton joined the crowd in singing "Rocky Top" at the end of the first quarter.
"Well, I couldn’t hear, but I love the song!" Parton said after her performance, according to WATE 6 in Knoxville. "I just want you to know how proud I am to be here and thank you so much for taking special attention to do whatever we do. And I had a little trouble with hearing, but we know ‘Rocky Top,’ and that song was written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, and Dale, their son, is in the stadium tonight. So I guess we’ll play ball! Thank you!"

Dallas extended its home winning streak to 13 with the victory over Washington.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns as the Dallas offense scored 25 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
The loss for Washington was the eighth in the team's last 10 games as the Commanders fell to 4-8 on the season.

"We just got beat by a lot of points on Thanksgiving," Washington receiver Terry McLaurin said. "The game was within reach. And we just didn’t make the necessary plays to kind of put the ball in the end zone and do our part. So that’s never a good feeling."
The NFL continues on Friday with a game between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins.
