Ah rembering Thanksgiving week games of times past. Got this from Redskins.com.

The two teams engaged in wild battles resembling shootouts at the OK Corral: 34-31 Redskins, 31-30 Cowboys, 34-31 Redskins, 17-14 Cowboys, 27-20 Redskins. In four of those five games, the winning points came in the final two minutes.

Such was the case at D.C. Stadium (now RFK) on Nov. 28, 1965. The Cowboys jumped out to a 21-0 lead, and chants of “WE WANT SHINER” resonated through the stadium from fans who wanted the ineffective Jurgensen benched for backup Dick Shiner.

Im sure that name caused a few locker room jabs!!
