ARLINGTON, Texas — Dak Prescott did not view Thursday's game as him against Patrick Mahomes. It was the Dallas Cowboys against the Kansas City Chiefs.
While Mahomes was magical, throwing four touchdown passes and showing the ability to wiggle out of constant pressure to keep the Chiefs in the game until the end, Prescott matched the three-time Super Bowl champion with defining moments of his own in the Cowboys' 31-28 win against the Chiefs.
It started after Mahomes gave Kansas City a 21-20 lead on the second play of the fourth quarter with his second fourth-down touchdown pass of the game.
Facing third-and-8 from the Chiefs' 45, Prescott hit receiver George Pickens on a slant and saw the receiver deke one cornerback (Jaylen Watson) and hurdle another (Trent McDuffie) for a 39-yard gain.
But what Prescott did on third-and-goal from the 3, as well as the subsequent 2-point play, was downright Mahomesian.
Feeling pressure from his left, Prescott stepped up into the pocket and looked like he might try to run in the end zone until quickly flipping the ball to running back Javonte Williams, who scored.
