"Prescott started to get into a rhythm, hitting CeeDee Lamb on third down to move the chains twice before finding him in the corner of the endzone for a score. Just like that, the game was tied up again. It was time for the defense to respond, though against someone like Mahomes, that's easier said than done. It proved to be true, as well, with Mahomes picking up a first down on a third-and-14 scramble before finding Travis Kelce for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal."
"On the Cowboys' next drive, Brian Schottenheimer demonstrated a clear understanding of how crucial it was to come away with points. On fourth-and-short at the Kansas City 48, he went for it, and Prescott found Jake Ferguson for the first down. A few plays later, though, Dallas came up short on third down and opted for the field goal, cutting it to a 14-10 Chiefs lead."
The Cowboys entered the Thanksgiving matchup coming off a grueling comeback over the Eagles and had beaten two recent Super Bowl teams in five days. The game began poorly: Dak Prescott was intercepted on the third play and Patrick Mahomes connected with Rashee Rice for a touchdown. Prescott regained rhythm, converting third downs and throwing a score to CeeDee Lamb to tie the game. Mahomes answered with a third-and-14 scramble and a fourth-and-goal touchdown to Travis Kelce. Dallas converted a fourth-and-short to Jake Ferguson but settled for a field goal to trail 14-10. The Dallas defense then pressured Mahomes, forcing a punt after Jadeveon Clowney's second-down sack and a third-and-26.
