The team is now ahead of the Eagles in the NFC East for the time being. The Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders are nearing the end of the first part of the game on Thanksgiving and starting early on things have been sloppy, as the Cowboys gave up a fumble on the opening kickoff that was returned for a touchdown and now the score and live updates are available, as is the play-by-play from ESPN.com and the game is live on CBS and streaming online.
Greg Jenkins returned the Terrance Williams fumble on the kickoff for a touchdown and then later on the Raiders returned the favor, as they fumbled deep in their own zone after a problem with Matt McGloin taking the ball from the center and after the turnover DeMarco Murray scored a touchdown on a two-yard run. McGloin has looked solid so far in the game and each team has now lost a fumble and the Raiders are getting a boost from having Darren McFadden playing and players like Rod Streater and Mychal Rivera will need to step up for Oakland.
Miles Austin has started off the game well and the Raiders did a good job keeping back Dez Bryant in the early goings of the game and and Raiders took the early lead in total yards. Neither team has rushed the ball much and now the Cowboys are looking to win their second game in a row since defeating the Giants and the Raiders are coming in trying to stop a losing streak from starting after they lost a heartbreaker against the Titans last week. The Raiders have done a good job attacking the secondary of the Cowboys and McGloin has looked very good despite being an undrafted rookie and Tony Romo knows what it's like to be undrafted as well and now the two quarterbacks are facing off.
