Resurgent Cowboys win 3rd straight, ready to play 'anybody, anywhere' - ESPN

ARLINGTON, Texas — As Dak Prescott jogged to the locker room after Thursday's 31-28 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, he was chomping on a turkey leg.

A number of offensive teammates had some turkey of their own. When owner and general manager Jerry Jones walked out of the locker room, he was carrying a turkey leg of his own.

Inside the locker room, music blared, players danced and everybody was in a festive mood.

The Cowboys have won three straight games for the first time since 2023. They have inched over .500 for the first time this season (6-5-1) and put themselves in position to be relevant in the playoff chase as the calendar turns to December.

«We'll play anybody, anywhere,» coach Brian Schottenheimer said. «You can see that by what we've done the last couple of weeks. The moment's not too big for us.»

In the span of five days, the Cowboys beat the two participants in Super Bowl LIX in February. They tied the franchise record for the largest comeback (21 points) to beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and on Thursday they beat the Chiefs with a fourth-quarter comeback.

It had Jones and Prescott searching for a better two-game stretch for the Cowboys since Prescott was made the starter in 2016.

«Under the circumstances, I don't remember a better two games back-to-back here at home,» Jones said. «And these guys played inspired.»

Said Prescott, «I'm not sure if I have, honestly. On top of where we've put ourselves right before these games and just the place that we're in of having to get these wins against two elite teams. I mean the two teams that played in the Super Bowl last year. Last year's last year, but you're talking about two organizations that obviously know how to win, and we just beat them both in two
