When was the first game played between the cowboys and redskins?

On November 28, 2002, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Redskins at Texas Stadium by the score of 27 to 20. The Cowboys were paced by running back Emmitt Smith, who rushed for 144 yards in what would be his final season with the team.

Washington, which has an 0-and-6 record in Thanksgiving Day games against the Cowboys, will try again when the two teams meet on Thursday, November 22, 2012.
