The Cowboys' charter returned from Philadelphia at about 4:30 a.m. on Monday. Just seven hours later, a dozen Cowboys players served early Thanksgiving lunches at the Salvation Army's Carr P. Collins Social Service Center in Dallas, while Cowboys rookies did likewise at Fort Worth's Salvation Army Mabee Social Service Center.
"Thank you for winning last night," one of the roughly 400 diners in Dallas shouted out as Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Travis Frederick and Byron Jones, among other players, entered the cafeteria area, donning aprons.
"Anytime you beat Philadelphia, we love it," another patron said as safety Jameill Showers served him a heaping plate of turkey, dressing, potatoes and trimmings.
