The Dallas Cowboys have played NFL games on Thanksgiving Day since 1966, becoming as synonymous with the holiday as turkey and parades. Thus, many have enjoyed a serving of pie—whether it be pecan, sweet potato, or pumpkin—while watching the Cowboys, and the players themselves have also surely enjoyed the Thanksgiving dessert.

However, a serving of pie came a couple of months early for the Cowboys, and it came courtesy of the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Only, this wasn’t the pie you typically want, but it can often be the type of pie you desperately need.
