Jake Ferguson might have a little more motivation Thursday night.
When Ferguson's Dallas Cowboys take on the NFC East rival New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, Ferguson hopes it will be a celebration.
On Sunday, his girlfriend, Miami Hurricanes basketball star Hailey Cavinder, posted a collage of photos of the couple celebrating one year of dating.

Cavinder posted five photos of the two together, including one before a Cowboys game with the caption, “One year of grazing.”
Their relationship came to light in September last year when Cavinder was seen wearing the jersey in a social media post. Cavinder said that once they made their relationship public, trolls came out.
In a YouTube Q&A session with her sister, Hailey said she received negative comments about her appearance when the relationship became public.
“I was at Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hannah, and I got this post. And I just started seeing comments about my face.” Cavinder said.

Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton played all three quarters of the game with a torn ACL.
“I'm a confident girl, but when people are talking about you, I mean, if you have a boyfriend and someone's talking about your boyfriend and you online… It's like criticizing a trait. I'm like, 'This is new.' And obviously, Jake is a great guy, but I don't want to be called ugly 24/7 on the internet, and I don't want that to be my boyfriend. Nobody feels cool watching that. So I had a mental breakdown.”
Cavinder said she was no longer afraid to brag about their relationship because Ferguson was there to support her.
Cavinder's twin sister, Hannah, is dating Georgia quarterback Carson Beck.
