When the NFL announced its schedule for the 2025-26 season, the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs generated great expectations for the duel between two talented quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott. Fans even thought it would be a key matchup with teams that would be in the fight for their divisions, but the opposite is true. Both franchises are in urgent need of victory to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs as wild cards.
This game will be one of three on the Thanksgiving Day schedule and as is customary and traditional in the NFL, the Cowboys will be in action at AT&T Stadium as part of Week 13 and it will be a crucial game for both teams’ aspirations because the losing team could start to say goodbye to this campaign.
How do the Dallas Cowboys arrive at their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs?
The ‘Lone Star’ team arrives motivated after achieving its second consecutive victory, the first in its visit to Las Vegas where they won 33-16 at Allegiant Stadium with an incredible performance by the offense and Dak Prescott.
However, last week’s test was tougher, against the Philadelphia Eagles, divisional leaders who had already beaten Dallas in the first week. As expected, the reigning champions managed to take a 21-0 lead and the worst was feared, but Dak managed a touchdown with Pickens and things changed, the defense managed to stop Hurts’ attack and no longer allowed points, achieving an epic comeback with 24 unanswered points.

One of the surprises of the season has been the inconsistency of the Chiefs, who have a 6-5 record, but last week they achieved a monumental overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts on the road that keeps hope alive for the current AFC champion.
Kansas City is in third place in the AFC West, which is led by the Denver Broncos (9-2), followed by the Los Angeles Chargers (7-4), so they need a win, which if combined with a loss by the Chargers would put them on the same record.
