With the game still in reach of the Redskins in the fourth quarter, NFL rushing leader Elliott ran for a 1-yard TD to extend the Dallas lead to 31-19. He finished with 97 yards and two scores.

Prescott was 17 of 24 for 195 yards and one touchdown for the Cowboys. He ran for a score in the fourth quarter, too.

Matt Prater kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired, and the Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings, 16-13, on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit. With the victory, the Lions took over sole possession of first place in the NFC North.

After falling behind 13-10 early in the fourth quarter, Detroit (7-4) rallied to tie the game on Prater’s kick with 1:49 to play.

Lions cornerback Darius Slay then intercepted Sam Bradford on the ensuing drive and returned the ball to the 20-yard-line of Minnesota (6-5) with 30 seconds left. Prater’s game-winning kick sailed through the uprights two plays later.

Matthew Stafford threw for 232 yards and a score for the Lions, who have come from behind in all seven of their wins this season.

Bradford finished 31 of 37 for 224 yards, with the costly, game-changing interception.
