Watch: Cowboys rookie TE Jake Ferguson hurdles defender

Jake Ferguson, a rookie tight end out of Wisconsin, soared on Thanksgiving. He hurdled over a Giants defender for a critical 30-yard gain. 

On a second-and-9 Dak Prescott scrambled and connected with Ferguson, helping the Cowboys inch into the red zone.  They capitalized when Peyton Hendershot, a fellow rookie tight end, walked into the endzone on a sweep to the left, grabbing a 28-13 lead. 

After the touchdown, the duo played "Whac-a-Mole" in the Cowboys' Salvation Army Pot. 

Although both tight ends are rookies, they will capture attention if they continue making big plays.
