Dallas Cowboys Host Washington Redskins in Key NFC East Matchup on NBC's Thursday Night Football

Week 13 kicks off with Thursday Night Football on NBC this Thursday, Nov. 30, as Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys host NFC East rival Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins to stay in THE HUNT for an NFC Wild Card spot at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Coverage starts at 7:30 p.m. ET with Football Night in Dallas on NBC, the only network with two primetime NFL packages.

Thursday Night Football will also be televised by NFL Network and Universo, and streamed live on Amazon Prime Video, NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, NFL Mobile from Verizon, Watch NFL Network, the NFL app on Microsoft, and NFL Game Pass (International).

Both teams are 5-6 and need a victory to stay in the NFC Playoff race. Washington is coming off a 20-10 victory over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving night, as the Redskins' defense held the Giants to 170 total yards. Cousins, who ranks second in the NFL with 3,038 passing yards, threw two touchdown passes, including one to WR Jamison Crowder, who racked up a career-high 141 receiving yards.

Dallas aims to bounce back following a 28-6 Thanksgiving Day loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cowboys look to win their fourth consecutive matchup against the Redskins following a 33-19 victory at Washington in Week 8.

Calling Redskins-Cowboys are Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, joined by sideline reporter Heather Cox.
