Raiders trump Cowboys in Thanksgiving nail-biter
The Las Vegas Raiders ended their three-game losing streak on Thursday after narrowly beating the Dallas Cowboys 36-33 in overtime, CBS Sports reports.
Vegas' Daniel Carlson kicked the game-winning 29-yard field goal after a penalty allowed the team to position themselves within range.
