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.
Tony Pollard's 100-yard return was the Cowboys longest kickoff return TD since 2002 against the Eagles (Reggie Swinton - 100 yards).
