(CBS 11 News) DALLAS Dallas Cowboys fans already have a lot to be thankful for this season and Tuesday the team gave back to some of its fans in need with a 'Thanksgiving' feast.
The feast is an annual tradition. A few weeks before the Thanksgiving Day football game players work serving meals to those less fortunate.
Players, cheerleaders and even the mascot "Rowdy" traded their uniforms and pads for aprons and serving spoons.
With help from the Salvation Army and Albertson's Grocery Stores, members of the team dished out hot meals and warm smiles. "It's real special, just to see the guys and us come together and try to help serve," linebacker Bradie James said.
Given the Cowboys record, the mood was especially upbeat this year. "You hear a little more cheers, you know," Cowboys linebacker Akin Ayodelle explained. "It definitely is more special in that sense."
The Cowboys are coming off a huge win in Philadelphia and the team's best start in more than a decade.
Fan Alfonso Cervantes is glad he met the team, but says he'd rather see them back at Valley Ranch. "They should be practicing, but they're out here with us. I want a Super Bowl ring more than I want a turkey dinner," he joked.
Cowboys cornerback Terance Newman told CBS 11, "The record in football doesn't even matter when you come here. You're doing something for the people, and showing them that you care about them."
If your own Thanksgiving Day plans include the Cowboys game you can watch it on CBS 11. The Cowboys take on the New York Jets on Thanksgiving Day and coverage begins at 11 a.m. with a special edition of "Cowboys Game Day."
