November 27, 2025: The 'Turkey Leg/Galloping Gobbler winners' quiz

Inspired by John Madden, CBS began handing out the Turkey Leg Award in 1989 to the best player from the annual Thanksgiving prime-time game. In 1994, the award switched over to Fox when Madden began working there, and in 2002 it became the Galloping Gobbler Award once Madden's tenure at Fox was finished. For two seasons, it was known simply as the Game Ball. Then it was the Fox WWE Championship Belt. Now, it's the Fox Madden Player of the Game. Over that time, whatever the name, the award has been handed out 51 times. So with that in mind, how many of the winners can you name in five minutes?

The middle matchup on Thanksgiving Day this year will feature the 6-5 Kansas City Chiefs on the road taking on the 5-5-1 Dallas Cowboys in a huge matchup for both teams' postseason hopes. 

The last time Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott played on Turkey Day, he completed 22-of-32 passes for 331 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-10 win. DaRon Bland also had a 63-yard pick-six, and the pair shared Fox Madden Thanksgiving MVP honors. 

Which brings us to today's quiz.
