🏟 GAME INFO

Matchup: Kansas City Chiefs (6–5) at Dallas Cowboys (5–5–1)

Venue: AT&T Stadium — Arlington, Texas
Kickoff: 4:30 p.m. ET (Thanksgiving Game)

Kansas City enters Week 13 trying to stabilize a volatile season. Patrick Mahomes continues to carry the offense with veteran poise, navigating a rotation of receivers while leaning on the speed of rookie Xavier Worthy and the reliability of Rashee Rice whenever healthy. Tight end Travis Kelce remains the heartbeat of the passing game, while Isiah Pacheco provides the physicality needed to control tempo behind an offensive line anchored by Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith.

Defensively, the Chiefs rely on a disruptive front led by Chris Jones and George Karlaftis, a duo capable of derailing offensive rhythm on any snap. Linebackers Nick Bolton và Leo Chenal strengthen the spine of the defense, while cornerback Trent McDuffie continues to emerge as one of the league’s cleanest, most instinctive coverage defenders.

Dallas returns home looking to regain control of a turbulent NFC East race. Quarterback Dak Prescott guides a Cowboys offense built on efficiency and calculated aggression, relying heavily on CeeDee Lamb — the team’s premier playmaker and essential conversion weapon. Ryan Flournoy and George Pickens add size and explosiveness to the receiving corps, while tight end Jake Ferguson has grown into a dependable chain-mover for Prescott. In the backfield, newly acquired Javonte Williams provides a downhill presence designed to stabilize Dallas’ run game.

On defense, the Cowboys feature a rebuilt but dynamic unit. Quinnen Williams anchors the interior with game-wrecking power, while edge defender Donovan Ezeiruaku supplies the burst and bend needed to generate outside pressure. Linebackers Logan Wilson and Kenneth Murray Jr. handle the middle, and DaRon Bland remains a threat in the secondary with elite ball skills. Malik Hooker’s deep-field range gives Dallas the ability to disguise coverage and force quarterbacks into tight throws.
