Cowboys' Tony Pollard set records with big kickoff return for TD

The Thanksgiving day matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders had plenty of entertainment to offer. But there was probably no bigger play than Tony Pollard's 100-yard kickoff return. 

As it turns out, Pollard's big third-quarter return was also the first of its kind in quite some time — for both the Cowboys and for the entire league.

The 24-year-old is playing in his third season in the NFL, tallying 495 yards on 90 carries through 10 games played this season for Dallas.
