Cowboys vs. Commanders Week 17 Highlights: Dallas Bests Archrival on Christmas

Updated: Dec 25, 2025 - 4:21 PM ET

Santa might not have left a playoff appearance under the Cowboys' or Commanders' Christmas tree this year, but the two teams got the gift of playing in front of a national TV audience on a holiday.

The NFC East rivals faced off on Thursday in Landover, Md. The Cowboys saw their playoff hopes come to an end last week, with the Eagles securing back-to-back NFC East titles. The Commanders' season, meanwhile, took another miserable turn last week with Marcus Mariota going down with an injury.

Check out all the highlights from Thursday's game below!
