"The Preston Road Trophy is staying in Dallas, and so too are the great vibes around the Dallas Cowboys after their third straight win on Thanksgiving, 31-28 over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cowboys had to come from behind in a home game yet again, but did so for the second time in five days to knock off the reigning AFC champions after beating the reigning NFC champion Eagles on Sunday."
"The Cowboys won this game with their "main course" players Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens, but on Thanksgiving and throughout the winning streak, Schottenheimer's team has been all about the right mix of "side dishes" working alongside the main course to create balance. We all know turkey isn't as good without also having some mashed potatoes and maybe mac and cheese on the plate, and right now the Cowboys plate has the best of everything working in unison."
"To beat Andy Reid and the Chiefs, it also takes a perfectly cooked-up game plan, and 60 minutes of execution. The Cowboys were the better team in this regard in impressive fashion in front of the national audience. The Chiefs hung in this game the same way they did last Sunday against the Colts before forcing overtime and winning, but had no such heroics on the road this time out, in the NFL's first-ever meeting between two teams that won their prior game without ever having a lead with any time on the clock."
The Preston Road Trophy remains in Dallas after the Cowboys defeated the Chiefs 31-28 on Thanksgiving, securing a third straight victory. Dallas overcame an early 7-0 deficit and produced its second comeback in five days following the win over the Eagles. Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens led the offense while complementary players added balance under coach Schottenheimer. A disciplined game plan and consistent execution across 60 minutes prevented Kansas City's late-game heroics. The win provides momentum entering December and positions Dallas as a legitimate contender for a playoff berth.
