The Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys for their Week 13 matchup. This game holds massive importance for both teams, as they're both trying to find their way into the playoffs. On Thanksgiving Day, Chiefs Kingdom will have a lot to be thankful for if their team can dominate America's team for all to see. The Chiefs saved their season with a win over the Indianapolis Colts, but they cannot allow themselves to grow complacent against the Cowboys. This is a team with just as much momentum as them, and the Chiefs will have to get it going early if they don't want the Cowboys' offense to be a problem all game.

Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images | Kevin Jairaj-Imagn ImagesThe Chiefs deferred the ball on the opening kickoff, which means they trust their defense to set the tempo early against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. They did more than just set the tone; they picked Prescott off and gave their offense excellent field position. Game over. Chiefs still alive.— nick (@_nickswaggerr) November 27, 2025INTERCEPTION LETS GO CHIEFS— cait⸆⸉❤️🔥 (@caitamirrorball) November 27, 2025That’s a quick INT by Dak. Chiefs are in great field position, Rice is going to get this TD— Dan Vachalek (@Dyhard) November 27, 2025finna be a long evening for the cowboys— Keyon (@KingMythics) November 27, 2025This turnover quickly led to the Chiefs scoring their first touchdown of the game. The game's just started, and it already looks like the Chiefs are putting this game away. They're playing excellently on both sides of the ball. Patrick Mahomes was a perfect 2/2 in their opening drive, but it was Rashee Rice's speed that catapulted them into the endzone. that was quick.Rashee Rice touchdown after the Chiefs INT. exactly how THEY wanted this game to start.— Patrik [No C] Walker (@VoiceOfTheStar) November 27, 2025Eighth time this season the Cowboys have allowed a score on the first possession.— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) November 27, 2025Rashee Rice just always seems faster in Dallas. #ChiefsvsCowboys— Steve DuBois (@Twitlysium) November 27, 2025It was only a matter of time before the Cowboys' explosive offense got rolling, as they mixed in runs and passes to score their first touchdown of the game. CeeDee Lamb is killing the Chiefs' secondary at the moment. They need to find a way to discourage Prescott from getting him the ball. McDuffie gone get cooked all game huh? #ChiefsvsCowboys— Prize Picks Donator 😅.

The Chiefs know the stakes of this game, and they're playing desperate football. Actually Patrick Mahomes take the touchdown yourself— NaiyaE (@SportsTalkGirll) November 27, 2025Patrick Mahomes is more Russell Wilson than Tom Brady pic.twitter.com/Zjf0LJeMNY— Rafael Ybarra (@therafaelybarra) November 27, 2025Patrick Mahomes there’s nobody in this life I love more than you— ICEMAN🧊 (@isaiahdaboy) November 27, 2025Andy Reid showcased his faith in Mahomes by letting them go for the touchdown on 4th down, and who else but Travis Kelce comes up big in the clutch? A ballsy decision from the Chiefs, and it pays off with a lead heading into the second quarter.Heck of an adjustment from Travis Kelce— The Real Avery Lynch (@YoungBull_Lynch) November 27, 202585th Touchdown for Travis Kelce. Let's go Chiefs! I think he can get to 100 if he stays for one more season.— Frederick Okocha (@F_rederic_k) November 27, 2025TRAVIS KELCE TD PERIOD pic.twitter.com/Eux02qvM9p— Ro✨ (@MartaRocaPetro) November 27, 2025Travis Kelce playing this great at 36 years old isn’t being talked about enoughHis longevity isn’t appreciated enough— Joel Moran (@joelvmoran) November 27, 2025Not to be outshone, the Cowboys converted a 4th down of their own to keep their drive going in hopes of responding with points. They were able to cut the lead down by a field goal, as the Chiefs have reduced George Pickens to a non-factor in their passing game. Cowboys season will be over today finally. On to next season, can’t get off to a bad start like they did defensively— Deetrey (@deetrey_) November 27, 2025I don't know if I would have kicked the FG there if I were the Cowboys. They went for it around midfield, a much riskier call. This game might come down to who blinks first. #ChiefsKingdom— Chiefs SD (@ChiefsSD) November 27, 2025Malik Davis is taking the majority of snaps for the Cowboys' rushing attack, and he's having a breakout performance in front of the Nation. He ripped off a 43-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a lead with a little more than two minutes left in the first quarter.Old school pistol.Malik Davis was shot out of cannon pic.twitter.com/UVMqXv7hMC— (Foots The King) (@FootsDaKing) November 27, 2025Malik Davis was 2 for 4 yards before that 43 yard TD run. Sometimes you gotta just continue to run the ball even when it looks grim.— CLew 🏈🏀⚾️🥊 (@droppedballspod) November 27, 2025Chris Jones tried to make a “better be” play on the long TD run as in, “You better be right if you do this”. He was not.— Jacob Nierob (@JNierob) November 27, 2025The Chiefs' final drive of the half was marred by penalties, and they couldn't even get into field goal range down 3 points. They'll start the second half with the ball, and thankful that their defense was able to get that interception on Prescott, because their offense is in sync right now. Josh Simmons using a snatch trap technique and then holding his hands towards the official to show he’s not holding. Lmao pic.twitter.com/rSxhDl8urm— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) November 27, 2025Tell the refs to chill out. Too involved in this game.— Ryan Schave (@Schave33) November 27, 2025Chiefs probably need 21 points in the second half to win the game. Defense can't keep up with the Cowboys offense.— Tyler Renollet (@tyrenollet) November 27, 2025To open up the second half, the Chiefs' offense was blessed with amazing field position due to an impressive return from Brashard Smith. Unfortunately, their offense couldn't capitalize, and to make matters worse, Mahomes was slow getting off the field after taking a hit on a third-down pass attempt. Mahomes is a shell of himself...no long ball. KC needs a new look, new management, new coaching, new vision in 2026.— Nancy Martin (@NancyKellyMart1) November 27, 2025Another drive wasted and Hollywood and Mahomes limping— Mike Allen (@mrmikesworld) November 27, 2025I love Andy, but if the chiefs lose this game and don’t make the playoffs, I think he needs to step away from play calling duties. It’s time to open the eyes and realize he’s holding Mahomes and team back— Andy Reid’s Nuggies (@KC_STLSports) November 27, 2025This has been Trent McDuffie's worst game of the season. He was getting cooked by Lamb earlier in the game, and a critical penalty got the Cowboys closer to the end zone. Thankfully for them, the Cowboys missed their opportunity to pile it on the Chiefs, and they only got a field goal out of it. Cowboys lose because they didn’t go for it— Nolan (@SportsAreFake_) November 27, 2025Cowboys matched Andy’s 10/10 cowardly punt with a 7/10 cowardly field goal. Offense has to score here or they may not possess the ball down 1 score again all night.— Red Sea Reader (@RedSeaReader) November 27, 2025I’m sure that FG to go from up 1 score to up 1 score won’t come back to haunt the Cowboys as they play Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) November 27, 2025The Chiefs can smell blood in the water, as their next drive has been filled with big plays and bunches of yards. Reid converts another 4th down for a touchdown, and the Chiefs start the 4th quarter with the lead. Despite all of the mistakes they've committed in this game, they feel inevitable at the moment. i love you rashee rice https://t.co/RBCqbFJUm0— mäson☀️® (@goingback2ella) November 28, 2025Rashee Rice has completely changed the dynamic of this Kansas City offense since he came back from that suspension. He has been really good.— 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑖𝑝𝑒🏮 (@TheBadGuy_14) November 28, 2025I am thankful for Rashee Rice— Juice (@jclark032) November 28, 2025A big completion to Pickens drove the Cowboys' offense down the field, and Prescott made a nice play to flip the ball to Javonte Williams to take back the lead. He took a big hit while converting the 2-point try, and he's genuinely been keeping pace with Mahomes in their duel. GEORGE PICKENS IS HIM!!!!!!!!— Mike (@Yaboimike11) November 28, 2025GEORGE PICKENS IM SO THANKFUL— omar (@Omar1nator) November 28, 2025i think Mahomes & Dak Prescott are doing what the kids call going band for band 😂— 73-9 and THEY LIED (@CuffsTheLegend) November 28, 2025An absolutely monster drive by Dak Prescott there. He's been unbelievable this year.— Sam Roberts (@RealSamRoberts) November 28, 2025The different demeanors of Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott on the sideline are night and day. Dak is having fun#ChiefsKingdom #DallasCowboys— Kingdom Korner (@kingdom_korner) November 28, 2025Rice has had a monster game, but unfortunately, he couldn't catch a must-have ball. The Chiefs are floundering, and punting the ball back to a Cowboys offense that's red hot is never a good thing, especially at this point in the game. It feels like Patrick Mahomes is about to enter his Aaron Rodgers era. The Chiefs need to take a hard look at this roster and retool things if they want to have any shot of getting more rings for Mahomes.— Arrowheadtom (@ArrowheadTom) November 28, 2025Players these days really can’t catch i feel bad for Patrick Mahomes— sly (@DunVsEverybodyy) November 28, 2025I feel bad for Patrick Mahomes. Has terrible defense, No OL, and receivers that won’t catch the ball. He cant do everything— ET (@ET_24) November 28, 2025Rashee Rice probably just had the biggest drop of the game. Right threw his hands perfect pass on 3rd down and dropped it. We better pray our defense can get a stop— More Muscle 💪🏽 (@PJ_More_Muscle) November 28, 2025The Cowboys started off their next possession with a 50-yard bomb to Pickens, and that set the tone for how their drive would go. The Chiefs were able to hold on to some hope after forcing them to kick a field goal, but the Chiefs' defense dropped two opportunities for a critical turnover. Chiefs need some milk— SuedeBuckeyes🏆®🏁 (@The_TruthEndzz) November 28, 2025Bro the Chiefs actually may not make the playoffs this year— Camfrey15 (@cameronDwinfrey) November 28, 2025Chiefs desperately need a pass rush, and a one guy who is a ball hawk. It lacks the ability to hit QBs, and get takeaways.— .Akr (@Akr_Baby) November 28, 2025Mahomes' magic is real in Dallas, as he completed a pass that only he could do. Falling down and yet, throwing a perfect pass to Xavier Worthy for 42 yards. Not only did he pick up another crucial first down with his legs, but he laid a ball perfectly over their defense for the touchdown to cut into their lead late in the 4th quarter. Absolute cinema. playing against patrick mahomes is the most stressful experience possible— 𝗶 (@cantguardgaIIup) November 28, 2025Patrick Mahomes is ridiculous— BranDogSports (@BranDogSports) November 28, 2025We could be seeing another Patrick Mahomes miracle. It never gets old.— Shoq (@Shoq) November 28, 2025Patrick Mahomes is clutch bro— DENZEL (@Black_denzel23) November 28, 2025McDuffie's penalties are killing the Chiefs this game. He has been getting cooked by the Cowboys receivers, and it's putting the game in jeopardy for the Chiefs. Trent McDuffie is in HELLLL— EAGLES STILL BETTER (@0rganic111) November 28, 2025Trent McDuffie this is one of the worst performances ever 😂— ☘️ (@10gmarco) November 28, 2025Trent McDuffie been getting torched all day man— Boog🥇 (@boogsportstake) November 28, 2025Pickens has effectively iced the game with a clutch first-down conversion. It's looking really bleak for the Chiefs' playoff chances. The Cowboys have assumed the victory position, and the Chiefs have lost their sixth game of the season. The Cowboys would be 3-9 without Pickens— Nico (@elitetakes_) November 28, 2025This is the last possible game the #Chiefs can lose.They must win out if they want to make the playoffs this season.— Chiefs Blitz (@ChiefsBlitz) November 28, 2025Chiefs are not good enough this season. Plain and simple. Too many mistakes. Roster is meh.
