ARLINGTON, Texas – Dak Prescott threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns, and the Dallas Cowboys held off a late Kansas City rally to beat the Chiefs 31–28 on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium. Cowboys’ balanced offensive attack Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes and connected with CeeDee Lamb seven times for 112 yards and a touchdown, helping the Cowboys win their fourth game at home this season. Javonte Williams added 59 total yards and a rushing score, while George Pickens had 88 yards and a two-point conversion. Mahomes’ falls short In his Jerry’s World debut, Patrick Mahomes nearly matched Prescott, throwing for 318 yards and four touchdowns on 23-of-34 passing, but the Chiefs (6–6) couldn’t close the gap after falling behind by 10 in the fourth quarter. Mahomes hit Rashee Rice twice for touchdowns and found Travis Kelce and Hollywood Brown for scores as well. Don’t forget these 5: Turpin’s alert fumble recovery – Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com These five plays were pivotal. Key drop by Rice after penalty – The Cowboys grabbed a 28-21 lead midway through the fourth quarter, and you knew Mahomes and the Chiefs would rally. But a crucial holding call led to a first-and-20. Eventually, it was third-and-8, and Mahomes scrambled and found Rashee Rice over the middle, but he dropped the ball, preventing a first down. The Cowboys took over and eventually drove for the field goal. Bonus: Turpin recovers the ball – The Cowboys had a seven-point lead and were looking for a field goal when Prescott hit George Pickens for a short gain inside the 10-yard line. But, he fumbled the ball on the turf. Luckily for Dallas, though, KaVontae Turpin was there to pounce on it for a recovery. The Cowboys avoided disaster and kicked the field goal for a 10-point lead. Considering how quickly the Chiefs had just driven for a touchdown, that recovery might have prevented the game from going into overtime. Dallas Cowboys above .500 for first time in well over a year- RJ Ochoa, Blogging the Boys For the first time in a long time… this team feels different. Dallas has now won three games in a row and it has all happened rather quickly as we are at the Thanksgiving Day holiday. This marks the first time that the Cowboys have a winning streak of at least three games since around this point of the 2023 season, almost two whole years ago. They won five in a row from a stretch starting before Thanksgiving and running through a little bit after. That is not the only “first time in a while” thing the Cowboys accomplished by winning when you were on your second piece of pecan pie. As the Cowboys have won three games in a row they have finally crawled out of the hole that is .500 from a record standpoint and are officially above it. This is the first time that the Cowboys are north of .500 since they were 3-2 following their Week 5 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. Stargazing: Cowboys who shined vs. the Chiefs – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com Star ups from the Cowboys 31-28 victory. CeeDee Lamb “We know the problem: I need to catch the f–king ball.” This was Lamb’s quote during a short week preparing for the Chiefs after suffering several drops against the Eagles four days prior, and he delivered like Santa on Christmas Eve. The All-Pro’s first four targets included three catches and two first downs, along with a PBU that kept Dak Prescott from suffering a second interception in as many drives — the scoring to end the drive with a beautiful touchdown that collected the ankles of Trent McDuffie, one of the best cornerbacks in the game. Yeah, 88 is back. Malik Davis A journey is only as valuable as someone’s dedication to seeing it through. Davis is a testament to perseverance, having been waived multiple times in his young NFL career by the Cowboys, only to be called back up and patiently, time and again, wait for his moment. It arrived against the Chiefs, when Davis exploded through the line and made another guy miss en route to a 43-yard touchdown run to give Dallas their first lead of the game (17-14 in the second quarter) and the longest TD run of anyone on the Cowboys’ roster this season. 4 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE COWBOYS’ WIN OVER THE CHIEFS – Fox Sports Here are a few key takeaways from the Cowboys week thirteen win. 1. Dak Prescott is playing at an elite level Prescott threw an interception on the Cowboys’ opening drive and then was off to the races. Prescott is playing some of his best football during Dallas’ three-game winning streak. He started it with four touchdowns and no interceptions against the Raiders two weeks ago, and he’s had two touchdowns and an interception in wins over the Eagles and Chiefs. In all three of those games, Prescott has averaged more than 8.0 yards per attempt. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb finished with seven receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown, while fellow receiver George Pickens was solid with five catches for 75 yards. When Prescott is playing like this, the Cowboys’ offense will be tough to stop. No team will be excited to play a team like this down the stretch, one that can put up points with the best of them and knows it has little margin for error if it wants to make the

Needless to say, it has been a long while since the vibes and energy were this fun and optimistic around the Cowboys. We will see if they can keep it going next Thursday night against the Detroit Lions, but right now all of the fun and wild conversations about them and playoffs are well within range. They are still a bit of a stretch, but you no longer have to hurt yourself to make that reach. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

What’s amazing is that four days before the Cowboys beat Kansas City they had a 21-0 comeback win against the Philadelphia Eagles. These are the two teams who played in last season’s Super Bowl which means the Cowboys just took out some serious competition in under a week. Given that the Cowboys beat the Las Vegas Raiders six days before beating the Eagles they are riding a three-game win streak in total, the first time since late in 2023 when they had a five-game winning streak going. The vibes and energy around this team right now are all sorts of optimistic and for good reason. Whether or not the Cowboys can truly run the table and reach the playoffs remains to be seen, but it cannot be denied that they are for real now. See More: Dallas Cowboys Roster

This victory keeps Dallas’ playoff hopes alive, and with the way they are currently playing has them looking like one of the better teams in the entire league. This Week 13 matchup with the Chiefs was yet another roller coaster ride the Cowboys took us on. There was plenty of ups and downs, but in the end they still somehow managed to secure the “W”. We’re gonna take a look at one good, bad, and ugly thing from this impressive victory. THE GOOD – Win streak extended Ever since coming out of their bye week the Cowboys have been finding ways to win. It hasn’t always been seamless, but every win counts when all is said and done. This exciting Week 13 victory over the Chiefs on Thanksgiving was Dallas’ third consecutive win in a row. They needed this victory in order to keep their playoffs hope alive, and based on the way they’ve been playing over the past few weeks, there’s some hope they can win out the rest of the season. This team is on a hot streak with no signs of slowing down. This week’s bad is how the Cowboys offense make opposing defenses look. Their latest victim, the Chiefs, had no answer for what Dak Prescott and Company were throwing at them almost the entirety of the game. This was one of the better defenses Dallas has faced all season and they pretty much picked them apart by getting just about everybody involved. The Cowboys “pick your poison” offense is becoming nightmarish for opposing defenses, and as long as they avoid hurting themselves they could become close to unstoppable moving forward. THE UGLY – Near fatal mistakes The stat line shows the Cowboys had just one turnover, the early interception thrown by Dak Prescott that turned into a touchdown for the Chiefs, But Prescott also threw another pass that was almost an interception that was dropped. There was also a near fatal “almost” turnover later that could have altered the outcome of the game. George Pickens’ fumble in the red zone late in the game likely would’ve changed the game in the Chiefs favor. Fortunately KaVontae Turpin was opportunistic enough to recover the fumble and extend the drive. It resulted in a Brandon Aubrey FG and ended up being what secured the win.

Second Quarter The Cowboys were able to grind out another impressive drive and this one was a bit more dramatic than the previous. Part of the theatrics involved a fourth and short that Brian Schottenheimer went for around midfield. Dak Prescott converted by finding Jake Ferguson which kept the waters cool for a bit. Shortly […] The Dallas Cowboys won a football game on Thanksgiving Day. It never gets old. America’s Team partook in their annual Turkey Day tradition and the Kansas City Chiefs were the team who dared square off against them. It marked patrick Mahomes’ first NFL start at AT&T Stadium and he will have to wait a while to try to get his first win. What a shame! The Cowboys fell down 7-0 in this game, not quite the 21-0 hold they dug last week, but afterwards found a rhythm and settled. They were in control for most of the game as a result of that. Dallas has won three games in a row for the first time in almost two years and they are north of .500 for the first time since Week 5 of last season. They have done a number of impressive things since emerging from the bye and conversations about the playoffs carry legitimate merit as a result of them. Kudos to all involved for the Cowboys for managing the quick turnaround off of a high-intensity win last week. They have earned some time off, but they will be back soon enough as they visit the Detroit Lions (who lost on Thanksgiving Day) next Thursday night. We will focus on that soon. For now, we celebrate. Happy Thanksgiving! Well done, Cowboys! Here is our recap of how it all happened. First Quarter The Chiefs won the toss and deferred which put the Cowboys on offense first. Like last week this turned out to be a not-so-great thing. Under pressure on the third play of the game, Dak Prescott was intercepted and the Chiefs were already in striking distance after the return. It took 3 plays for the Chiefs to take the ball away and it took fewer for them to score. On their second offensive play of the day Kansas City saw Patrick Mahomes hook up with Rashee Rice for the easy touchdown. SCORE: COWBOYS 0, CHIEFS 7 (Patrick Mahomes to Rashee Rice touchdown) The Cowboys did a great job of not letting the previous drive get to them as they appeared very comfortable when back on offense. Notably CeeDee Lamb looked particularly great which was awesome to see given last week’s struggles. Lamb was indeed very consistent on the drive, so much so that he put an end to it with a touchdown to equalize things for the Cowboys. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, CHIEFS 7 (Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb touchdown) In the blink of an eye the Chiefs were back within striking distance. We knew all along this game would be like this in certain stretches. The defense got Kansas City into a third down, but unfortunately Patrick Mahomes was able to scramble and move the chains. A few plays later the Chiefs were in a 4th and Goal situation and rolled the dice. They hit. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, CHIEFS 14 (Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce touchdown) That was it for the first quarter. Second Quarter The Cowboys were able to grind out another impressive drive and this one was a bit more dramatic than the previous. Part of the theatrics involved a fourth and short that Brian Schottenheimer went for around midfield. Dak Prescott converted by finding Jake Ferguson which kept the waters cool for a bit. Shortly after that Prescott fired one off to George Pickens and it looked to be an easy conversion… except Pickens seemed to lose the ball in the infamous glare from the sun peeking into AT&T Stadium. Sigh. The Cowboys ultimately had to settle for a field goal which was nice, but given the sun of it all it was a bit disappointing. SCORE: COWBOYS 10, CHIEFS 14 (Brandon Aubrey 49-yard field goal) Thankfully the Cowboys defense was able to rise to the occasion on the next drive. A big reason for this was a huge coverage sack against Patrick Mahomes that Jadeveon Clowney was the one to receive credit for. Whatever the case the Cowboys took over possession with a chance to go take the lead for the first time on the afternoon. Dak Prescott was in quite a zone on this possession and was very smooth with moving the ball and offense down the field. It was Malik Davis who capped it off, though. As Jim Nantz put it on the broadcast… number 43 took it 43 yards to the house for the first Cowboys lead of the game! SCORE: COWBOYS 17, CHIEFS 14 (Malik Davis touchdown) It looked as if Kansas City was going to find a way to score, but then the Cowboys defense stepped up. They delivered a stop for the second straight possession and forced a punt with about 20 seconds left in the half. The Cowboys decided that was enough though and handed the ball off to Javonte Williams to send Post Malone to the stage for the Thanksgiving Day halftime show. Third Quarter As the Chiefs deferred to start the game they began the second half with the ball. It was more of the same though, amazingly. The Cowboys defense stood tall yet again and forced a Kansas City punt. Unfortunately it was downed very deep in Dallas territory which made matters treacherous for the offense. The first two plays looked promising, but George Pickens couldn’t wrap up a third down pass and the Cowboys punted it right back. Amazingly, the Cowboys defense did it again. They forced a fourth straight punt from the Chiefs offense. Imagine hearing those words in the middle of October. They would sound absurd. Dallas took over with some serious aggression. KaVontae Turpin was involved out of the backfield, Javonte Williams

While some families may be just sitting down at the Thanksgiving dinner table, the Cowboys are getting warmed up for their showdown with the Chiefs, hoping to notch their third straight win and continue to build momentum as they push for a playoff spot. Now, we know who will and won’t be available at kickoff. […] While some families may be just sitting down at the Thanksgiving dinner table, the Cowboys are getting warmed up for their showdown with the Chiefs, hoping to notch their third straight win and continue to build momentum as they push for a playoff spot. Now, we know who will and won’t be available at kickoff. The big name here is Tyler Guyton, who is inactive. The left tackle was ruled out early in the week with an ankle injury he suffered against the Eagles on Sunday. Nate Thomas, who took his place during the game, is the anticipated replacement on Dak Prescott’s blind side. The only other Cowboy to carry an injury designation into the game was Caelen Carson, who recently jumped into the starting lineup at outside cornerback. He suffered a hamstring injury that limited him in practice and, after trying to stretch it out on the field before the game, Carson will be inactive for today. That puts him and Guyton on the inactive list alongside healthy scratches that include Jaydon Blue, Jay Toia, Perrion Winfrey, and Jonathan Mingo. Notably, Mingo made his season debut this past week, but now goes back to being inactive. As for the Chiefs, they’ll be down a starter on the offensive line too. Guard Trey Smith injured his ankle in Sunday’s overtime win over the Colts and was ruled out earlier in the week. Noah Gray, the other tight end on this offense, is also inactive with a concussion.

FRISCO — At the beginning of another arduous journey, with a freshly reconstructed knee serving as a reminder of the road ahead, Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown felt determined. Yes, to recover from another significant injury, just as he did before he played his first NFL game. But also to go against the recommendations of those around him: doctors’ orders, conventional wisdom, and even his fiancée’s wishes. As his mother, Felicia Williams, affectionately said: DeMarvion “was being a knucklehead. But, again, determined.” Just as determined as he was to get back on the field. Overshown tore three ligaments in his knee on Dec. 9. One person with the Cowboys described it as a potential career-ending injury. Instead, it proved to be just another setback in his story. Initially, projections for Overshown to return to the field on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs were looked at as optimistic. Overshown beat that mark by two games. Overshown’s mother said he’s the type of person who will do whatever it takes to make something happen once he puts his mind to it, as he did days after his surgery. Overshown had previously committed to being in Tyler, Texas — about 20 miles from his hometown of Arp — days before Christmas for a bike giveaway, and nothing was going to stop him. Not even surgery and the recommended recovery. His fiancée, Alexis Babino, had one request when Overshown left for Tyler: be sure to sit and rest. If he had to do this, if he had to be there, then he could still be cautious on his leg. She remembers Overshown saying he would oblige her request. “But that did not happen,” Babino said. One video of Overshown standing next to a kid, crying in amazement at meeting Overshown, went viral. More photos circulated. Babino saw her fiancé standing in all of them. “He fought through it. I know he was in pain,” Babino said, “but he fought through that pain. That tells you a lot about the type of person he is. He’s compassionate, he’s positive, he’s resilient, he’s faced so many adversities … and that just says a lot about his determination.” To stay in the playoff hunt, Cowboys need best version of CeeDee Lamb vs. Chiefs – Jon Machota, The Athletic Dallas needs the All-Pro to get back to himself during this current gauntlet. FRISCO, Texas — The frustration was easy to detect Sunday night. Whether it was the animated sideline video or being one of the first players to leave the postgame locker room, CeeDee Lamb clearly was not happy about how he played against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys star wide receiver caught only four of his 11 targets for 75 yards in Dallas’ stunning 24-21 come-from-behind victory at AT&T Stadium. Lamb met with reporters Tuesday after practice for the first time since he was credited with two drops — you could argue he had three — against the Eagles. His most noteworthy answer came to a question about having conversations with quarterback Dak Prescott when he’s going through a tough stretch. “Just find ways to get better,” Lamb said. “You want to be solution-oriented. You’re not really dwelling much on the problem. Granted, we know the problem, I need to catch the f–––ing ball.” According to TruMedia, Lamb has eight drops in eight games this season. That ties him with Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams for most in the NFL. Lamb had four in the season opener against the Eagles. He had a career-high 11 drops last season. His most costly drop Sunday came with the Cowboys facing third-and-goal from Philadelphia’s 1-yard line with the game tied, 21-21, and 3:46 remaining. Prescott could have thrown a better ball farther to the back corner of the end zone, but the pass got through two Eagles defenders, hitting Lamb in the stomach. “I mean, it’s one game,” Prescott said Tuesday. “I think if anything, it’s for me to stay the same and show my support in him as I always have. I’m not going to panic, and he shouldn’t panic. It was one game. It was a frustrating game. But other than that, it’s not like the guy can’t go win a game by himself. I’m not going to make a bigger deal out of it. I think sometimes people do, media does, in a sense, and that creates anxiety and pressure on a guy that doesn’t belong. “I don’t even know if that’s a conversation that we’re necessarily going to have. It wasn’t his best game. He knows that. He’s well aware of that. His standard and his expectations, there’s no doubt in my mind the way that he’ll respond will be great.” Qunnien Williams quickly emerging as a leader for the Cowboys – Jazz Monet, Cowboys Wire Qunnien Williams has come in and put his thumbprint on the Cowboys organization already. Since arriving at the trade deadline, Quinnen Williams has shown why his former teammates in New York viewed him as the unofficial “captain of the captains.” The Cowboys did not just acquire a dominant interior lineman. They added someone whose leadership style blends accountability, teaching, and an insistence on collective improvement. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer highlighted the ways in which Williams communicates, particularly with young players. “You watch this guy interact with his teammates and the way he holds himself accountable,” Schottenheimer described, “the way he teaches the

The Cowboys may actually beat the Chiefs. A month ago, that would’ve seemed impossible, but it’s where we are today. Kansas City overcame two close losses to start the year and ripped off plenty of wins in a hurry, improving to 5-3 and looking ready to dominate the rest of the league again. Meanwhile, Dallas […] The Cowboys may actually beat the Chiefs. A month ago, that would’ve seemed impossible, but it’s where we are today. Kansas City overcame two close losses to start the year and ripped off plenty of wins in a hurry, improving to 5-3 and looking ready to dominate the rest of the league again. Meanwhile, Dallas was consistently inconsistent, finding new ways to lose and then following it up with a win, only to lose again the next week. Now, as we approach a Thanksgiving clash between these two, things have changed. The Cowboys added some pieces during the bye week, improved their defense, and got their mojo back on offense. They’ve won two straight, including a gutsy comeback against the Eagles, and now sit at 5-5-1 and just three slots away from being a Wild Card team. The Chiefs, on the other hand, lost a close one to the Bills right before their bye. When they returned from the rest, they fell to the Broncos, dropping them to 5-5. Then it took an 11-0 fourth quarter just to force overtime against the Colts, at which point a field goal secured the win to prevent them from having lost three in a row and dropping below .500 on the year. While most teams would interpret that as there being blood in the water, it really just highlights the frustrating nature of this Chiefs team: they find ways to win, no matter how ugly. As cliché as it sounds, it’s true. Kansas City has become Super Bowl regulars in recent years because of a perfect synthesis of scheme in all three phases of the game. Andy Reid’s West Coast spread has been waiting years for a player like Patrick Mahomes, Steve Spagnuolo is a master of making life hard on a quarterback, and Dave Toub has been of the league’s most respected special teams minds for decades. Offensively, Reid has always been known for explosive outputs. For a long time, that was the case in Kansas City too, with Tyreek Hill demonizing defenses down the field while Travis Kelce ate up linebackers and safeties in the intermediate areas. Hill is in Miami now, and Kelce is slowing down in his career. Youngsters Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy both offer similar juice to Hill, but availability has been an issue. Rice missed the first six games of the season due to a suspension, while Worthy was injured in a collision with Kelce in the season opener; even after he returned, it took Worthy a few games to really find his groove again. That’s where this offense has seemed to be all year: finding its groove. The numbers suggest they’ve already found it – Kansas City is second in EPA/play and third in offensive DVOA – but they’ve also been prone to long stretches of scoring droughts. Only five quarterbacks have been pressured more this year, and Mahomes is tied for ninth in sacks. His big time throw rate is only slightly higher than his turnover worthy play rate, and his 34.6% completion rate on passes of 20+ yards down the field is one of the worst in the league, barely ahead of Geno Smith. Explosives have eluded this offense despite having insane speed at the wide receiver position. In the run game, the Chiefs are getting stuffed at the lowest rate in the league and they’re sixth in yards before contact per attempt. However, only the Eagles and Patriots have fewer yards after contact per attempt. In other words, the run blocking is very good, but the Chiefs aren’t getting much rushing production beyond that. Again, explosives are lacking. Yet the Chiefs have been explosive when it matters most: Mahomes has them first in EPA/play on both third/fourth down and in the fourth quarter/overtime. When the game is on the line, this offense delivers. It’s been a similar story for the defense. Their metrics are closer to the middle of the pack – 15th in EPA/play allowed and 12th in defensive DVOA – but Spagnuolo finds ways to disrupt offenses each week. His attacking style of defense is blitzing on nearly a third of all downs and using simulated pressures almost as often. On the back end, Spagnuolo is focused on taking away big plays, using a high rate of Cover 3 but mixing things up and disguising coverages frequently. His fierce front seven forces offenses to earn it underneath, which is always easier said than done against this team. It’s greatly aided by Chris Jones, who’s fourth among all interior defenders in pressures this year and constantly wrecks games. The greatest asset this Chiefs team has is their experience. They rarely panic, always remaining fully aware of what they’re capable of. With Mahomes on offense and Jones on defense, and the duo of Reid and Spagnuolo calling plays, you never know when the Chiefs are about to flip the switch and go off. And, in a sense, they can lull opponents to sleep when they get into their dry spells, too. It’s what makes this team so frustrating to play and so challenging to beat. In a lot of ways, they’re similar to the Eagles, who crushed them in the last Super Bowl. The same Eagles who just got beat by these Cowboys after lulling themselves to sleep in the second half. So if Sunday’s game wasn’t anxiety-inducing enough for you, just wait until Thanksgiving. See More: Dallas Cowboys discussion
