After seven straight years of reaching at least the AFC title game with Patrick Mahomes, this might have been the dagger that finally ends Kansas City’s playoff streak. This loss epitomized the Chiefs’ entire season: The team that always finds a way to win close games lost another close game. After going 12-0 in one-score games last year, the Chiefs are 1-6 this year. The defense couldn’t get a single stop in the fourth quarter and...

Late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day — when most of us were nearly comatose after feasting on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes (and about 16 1/2 slices of pie), the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against Dallas.

As we have seen over and over this season, the Chiefs failed to make crucial plays when they needed them most. Specifically, these included stopping Dallas’ one-two punch: wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

QB Patrick Mahomes acknowledges Chiefs’ tough road ahead | ESPN

“You’ve got to win every game now — and hope that’s enough,” Mahomes said of the Chiefs’ attempt to make the postseason with five games left in the regular season.

With a 6-6 record and outside the AFC’s playoff picture, the Chiefs’ chances of clinching a postseason berth dropped Thursday from 63% to 47%, according to ESPN Analytics. All five games remaining on the Chiefs’ schedule, starting Dec. 7 against the Houston Texans, will be against AFC opponents, too. Mahomes understands that every game...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ 31–28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day dropped Kansas City to 6-6 — and provided a story barely different from so many of the team’s defeats this season: self-inflicted mistakes, costly penalties and missed opportunities in moments that demanded execution.

“The guys understand we’ve got to clean up a few things,” head coach Andy Reid told reporters after the game. “We’ve got to do better as coaches — and we’ve got to do better as players. So you go back to the drawing board and you keep working; that’s what you do. We were...

The Kansas City Chiefs entered Thursday’s 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys without a starting offensive lineman and a key defensive back.

Unfortunately, the team sustained more injuries to both position groups during the game.

On the Chiefs’ second defensive series, safety Bryan Cook left the field with an ankle injury. CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson initially reported that Cook would try to stay in the game and play on third downs. However, at halftime, Cook was reported as questionable to return. He did not play in the second half.

Also at halftime, right tackle Jawaan Taylor was [listed as...

The Kansas City Chiefs lost 31-28 to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Here are three takeaways from the game:

Chiefs’ offense suffers from stop-and-start rhythm

The Chiefs came out of the gates hot on offense, scoring on the second play of the game with a 27-yard catch-and-run by wide receiver Rashee Rice. On the second possession, the running game led the way through 12 plays, 75 yards and 5 first downs to boost their score to 14 points.

On Kansas City’s third drive, the momentum suddenly stopped. The offense moved past midfield, but a holding call on left...

In the second half of the NFL’s traditional Thanksgiving Day doubleheader, the (6-5) Kansas City Chiefs are on the road to face the (5-5-1) Dallas Cowboys from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Both teams are playing on short weeks after thrilling come-from-behind victories. On Sunday, the Chiefs collected a 23-20 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. Immediately after that, the Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points to record a 24-21 win over their NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams are also 10th in their respective conference playoff races — and need every win they can muster during the regular season’s...

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

As expected, running back Isiah Pacheco is active. Pacheco missed the Chiefs’ last three games after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders.

The Chiefs had already declared guard Trey Smith, tight end Noah Gray, and defensive back Christian Roland-Wallace out on Wednesday’s injury report. Cornerback Kristian Fulton, running back Elijah Mitchell, tackle Esa Pole, and wide receiver Jalen Royals will also not dress for the contest.

In Gray’s absence, second year tight end Jared Wiley will suit...
