DeMarvion Overshown is showing out in the Dallas Cowboys ' Thanksgiving game against the New York Giants.

The former Texas Longhorns star had the play of the game with an interception return for a touchdown, while also recovering a fumble.

During Overshown's Thanksgiving showcase, Cowboys fans were reminded of a ridiculous story involving the linebacker when selecting a jersey number.

Overshown was hoping to wear jersey No. 0 like he did with the Longhorns, but Jerry Jones would not allow it.

The reason? The jersey No. 0 belongs to the team mascot Rowdy. Seriously.

Ultimately, Overshown went with No. 13 in Dallas and he hasn't missed a beat.

This season, Overshown has recorded 47 tackles, five sacks, one forced fumble, one interception, and a touchdown.
