Our Cowboys insiders Joseph Hoyt and Calvin Watkins broke down the game from AT&T Stadium and, despite an undeniably impressive win over the defending AFC Champs, our writers couldn’t help but notice that things still look pretty bleak in terms of the Cowboys’ playoff picture.

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving for the Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-28, to win their fourth straight Turkey Day game. The win catapulted the Cowboys back into the playoff conversation as they showed their mettle in fighting back during the biggest moments.

The Dallas Cowboys are feeling confident following their three-game winning streak, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer vocalized that faith in his team.

Lamb starred with seven receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown, including a 51-yard bomb. After a week in which Lamb dropped three passes against Philadelphia and faced questions about his up-and-down season thus far, the Cowboys’ wide receiver bounced back in a big way.

The Dallas Cowboys certainly enjoyed their feast at home on Thanksgiving, defeating the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in a thriller, 31-28. It was a game that felt like a last stand for both sides, who were hoping to keep some playoff hopes alive heading into the stretch run.

Dallas beat the reigning champion Kansas Chiefs 31-28 on Thanksgiving, extending its winning streak to three games. The No. 7 seed in the NFC is the 8-4 49ers, so the Cowboys are still 1 ½ games out of playoff position.

Before the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys were multiple games under .500, with one of the worst defense in the NFL. In the last four days, they have beaten the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, and the team they beat in the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Luepke picked up blitzing cornerback Trent McDuffie to give Prescott plenty of time to throw a high, arcing pass to Lamb for a 51-yard gain. Eventually, the Cowboys added a field goal to up their lead to 10 points and ended up beating the Chiefs, 31-28.

Dallas sent Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on August 28 in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks (2026, 2027); Parsons then signed a four-year, $188 million deal with the Packers.

Three consecutive wins have kept the Dallas Cowboys' season alive after a 3-5-1 start. Still out of playoff position at 6-5-1, Dak Prescott knows they must continue to stack Ws ahead of Thursday’s visit to Detroit.
