The Dallas Cowboys are the talk of the NFL right now, racing out to the league's best record and a club-record winning streak behind pair of dynamic offensive rookies.
The Cowboys (9-1) haven't lost since the season opener way back on Sept. 11. It's a start that has everyone's attention, given the prominence of the franchise and the circumstances surrounding its unexpected dominance.
And while Dallas is enjoying its lofty perch atop the league standings, the Cowboys are quite aware of what awaits Thanksgiving against longtime rival Washington at AT&T Stadium.
The defending NFC East champion Redskins (6-3-1) are off to one of their best starts in years and are looking for revenge after losing to Dallas earlier this season.
Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott have electrified the Cowboys' attack. Prescott has accounted for 21 touchdowns -- 17 passing and four rushing -- and Elliott leads the league in rushing with 1,102 yards.
Dallas has piled up at least 400 yards of total offense in eight consecutive games, tying New England (2007) and Denver (2013) for the longest single-season streaks in NFL history.
Washington is no slouch offensively behind Kirk Cousins. The Redskins walloped Green Bay 42-24 on Sunday, scoring the second-most points since Jay Gruden became head coach in 2014.
With 515 total yards against the Packers, Washington has hit at least 500 yards twice this season. That ties the most in a single campaign, dating back to 1950.
Dallas is 29-18-1 all-time on Thanksgiving and is aiming to snap a two-game losing streak on Turkey Day.
The Minnesota Vikings learned the hard way earlier this month about the Detroit Lions' late-game prowess. The Vikings would prefer to give themselves a little more elbow room in the rematch on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit.
The Lions stole a win in Minnesota on Nov. 6 after the Vikings took the lead with 23 seconds remaining in regulation. A 58-yard Matt Prater field goal sent the game into overtime, and Detroit completed the comeback with a 28-yard Matthew Stafford-to-Golden Tate pass play.
That 22-16 overtime victory is the reason why the NFC North teams are tied for first place at 6-4. Detroit has staged a fourth-quarter comeback in all of its wins.
The last time the teams met on Thanksgiving Day was 1995, when the Lions pulled out a wild 44-38 victory.
Joe Pavelski figured if the extra goal wasn't going to come, then the Sharks needed extra defense. Martin Jones happily obliged.
Logan Couture and Joel Ward scored in the first period and San Jose gave the Chicago Blackhawks their second straight loss with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday night.
Artemi Panarin scored for the Blackhawks, who have back-to-back losses for the first time since opening the season 0-2. They also fell to the Oilers 5-0 on Monday night.
Jones, who had his 15th career shutout Monday, stopped 33 shots for his 10th win of the year.
Corey Crawford saved 33 shots for the Blackhawks, who entered with points in 10 of their last 12 games against San Jose.
The Blackhawks will complete their seven-game trip with back-to-back games at the Anaheim Ducks on Friday and Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
The Sharks will continue their homestand with a game against the New York Islanders on Friday.
Alex Ovechkin stretched out his arms in celebration, teammates mobbed him along the boards and jubilant fans launched their hats onto the ice.
This was the performance they had waited to see.
Ovechkin scored his first hat trick this season and 16th of his 10-year NHL career to lead the Washington Capitals over the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Wednesday night.
In the process, the three-time MVP and six-time goal-scoring champ showed the attitude that echoed his best seasons.
The 31-year-old Ovechkin played fewer than 16 minutes but had a goal in each period to move one hat trick ahead of Florida's Jaromir Jagr for the most among active players.
Ovechkin's second multi-goal game this season also propelled the Capitals to their third win through four games of a five-game homestand.
Ovechkin made it 2-0 in the second when he took John Carlson's cross-ice feed and fired a slap shot from a similar spot inside the left faceoff circle off the goalie's blocker.
The Blues begin a five-game homestand against Minnesota on Saturday.
Capitals will close a five-game homestand Friday against Buffalo.
At the end of 2014, Jordan Spieth traveled to Australia to play in the Australian Open. It was a curious move for the one-time PGA Tour winner that turned out to be a launching pad for one of the great seasons in American golf history in 2015. Spieth won Down Under and ending up winning the 2015 Masters and U.S. Open.
Now we might have a repeat on our hands because Spieth took the 2016 Australian Open in a playoff over Cameron Smith and Ash Hall. Speith shot a 3-under 69 on Sunday to get into the playoff before making birdie on the first playoff hole for the win. His scores for the week were 69, 70, 68 and 69. His consistency shined on a week when low numbers were available.
In the final round, it was a birdie on No. 16 (a long one) that got him hunting at 12 under. Spieth played in the penultimate group and third-round leader Geoff Ogilvy faltered late with a double-bogey at the same 16th Spieth birdied.
Then par saves at Nos. 17 and 18 propelled Spieth into the playoff. It was vintage Spieth (if a 23-year-old can do something "vintage"). It was not pretty, but it was effective. And he held a trophy at the end of the day.
