Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb lead Cowboys past Chiefs in Thanksgiving thriller

Dak Prescott said he feels confident ahead of the Dallas Cowboys’ matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Colin Cowherd asks if the Cowboys or Chiefs need a win more.

The Dallas Cowboys won a Thanksgiving Day thriller over the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-28, to truly vault themselves into the NFC playoff picture. 

Dallas needed a win heading into the short week, as they are now 6-5-1 on the season. They have now beaten the reigning conference champions, as they took down the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday. 

Meanwhile, after a massive home victory for the Chiefs last week against the Indianapolis Colts, they are back to .500 at 6-6.

It was an inauspicious start by Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense as the veteran signal caller threw an interception on the third play of the game. Jaylen Watson jumped the route of George Pickens, as Prescott’s throw was altered from a perfect blitz by Kansas City.

Just two plays later, Rashee Rice, who has fit well into the Chiefs’ offense since returning to the offense following an early-season suspension, had a convoy of blockers when he got a Mahomes screen and took it 27 yards into the end zone for an early 7-0 lead.

The Cowboys, though, were quick to respond with Prescott bouncing back on the ensuing drive. He went 12 plays and 75 yards, finding his trusty receiver CeeDee Lamb for a 15-yard strike in the back right of the end zone to tie the game at seven apiece.
