Dallas Cowboys give it away to the New Orleans Saints on Thanksgiving, 30-27

I spent my Thanksgiving at Cowboys Stadium covering the Cowboys and Saints game for the Associated Press. And in typical Dallas Cowboys fashion they handed the game to the Saints when Roy Williams fumbled the ball towards the end of the game giving the Saints one more chance to score, and they did for the win.
