Dallas Cowboys do hilarious whack-a-mole celebration after touchdown on Thanksgiving Day

The Dallas Cowboys had some fun with their food on Thanksgiving.

On Thursday, the Cowboys bested the New York Giants, 28-20, to retain their position at second in the NFC East. After a lethargic first half, the Cowboys outscored the Giants 21-7 in the final two quarters and cruised to a win at home in Week 12.

Peyton Hendershot put the cherry on top for the Cowboys with his rushing touchdown that gave Dallas a 15-point lead with just under nine minutes remaining. And to celebrate, Hendershot hilariously played whack-a-mole with his fellow tight ends, who jumped inside a giant decorative Salvation Army pot on the sidelines.

"The Whac-A-Mole was great. The guys told me about it early in the week. They were worried about getting fined or getting a penalty," Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said. "We said, ‘Make sure you’re up two touchdowns. We got a couple of guys that can help with the fine. So, go for it.’”

Definitely one of the most creative touchdown celebrations of the year!
