Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts, five of our eight Arrowhead Pride panelists picked the Chiefs to win. As a group, we called for Kansas City to emerge with a 25-21 win, which carried only four points of error from the game’s 23-20 score. So even though three of us picked the wrong team — which significantly shuffled the standings — it was our closest prediction of the season. Our readers generally saw it pretty much the same way. Two-thirds thought it would be a close game — and 42% thought the Colts would...

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs face the Dallas Cowboys. We welcome David Halprin of Blogging The Boys— our sister SB Nation site covering the Cowboys — for Five Questions with the Enemy.

1. Do you feel this is a must-win game for the Cowboys?

I kind of feel that way about every game they play from here on out. Even after beating the Eagles on Sunday, the Cowboys are still three games back in the win column for a run at the NFC East. Additionally, Dallas is 10th in the NFC playoff rankings, meaning either the Eagles...

The Game

The (6-5) Kansas City Chiefs will play on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 2006, matching up with the (5-5-1) Dallas Cowboys for the annual holiday battle at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Arrowhead time. It will be one of three NFL games on Thursday.

Kansas City is coming off a 23-20 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts that set up a run at the playoffs for the rest of the regular season. Dallas came back from a 21-0 deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 this past Sunday.

Chiefs vs. Cowboys: Two must-know storylines for Thanksgiving Day showdown | NFL.com

1) Chiefs look to increase scoring against improved Dallas defense

The Chiefs are still limited at times on the scoreboard, averaging 21 points per game in their past three games, although there were at least signs of life from the offense in last week’s OT win over the Colts. Down 20-9, the Chiefs scored 14 of their 23 points in the final nine minutes of regulation and in overtime. Patrick Mahomes led them to a 494-yard outing, and they would have...

Chiefs fans’ confidence

The overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts boosted the morale of Chiefs’ fans. After a season-low mark of 18% last week, the fan base is closer to feeling the way it did after the bye week and before a close loss to the...

On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs began preparing for their Thanksgiving Day trip to face the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, raising the question that always comes with playing on a short week: how they’ll get everyone healthy and ready to go.

This is especially problematic for the offense, which ran an incredible 92 offensive plays in Sunday’s 23-20 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

“Guys are banged up,” offensive coordinator Matt Nagy acknowledged to reporters on Tuesday. “It’s [usually] the second day — which is today — that guys get the most sore.”

Since the Cowboys also played on...

On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced a pair of practice squad elevations ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Safety Mike Edwards and offensive tackle Esa Pole will be available for the contest.

Edwards was a member of the team’s 2023 squad. He started five games during his season in Kansas City. He then added starts in all four postseason games — including Super Bowl LVIII. He returned to Kansas City after spending 2024 with the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his original team.

After being released in Kansas City’s final cuts out...

Here is the Chiefs’ final official injury report of the week, including game designations.

The NFL has named Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt as its AFC offensive player of the week for Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season.

This is Hunt’s second offensive player of the week award. He also won it in Week 9 of 2018.

Filling in for injured starter Isiah Pacheco, Hunt had 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown (plus three catches for 26 yards) during Sunday’s come-from-behind, 23-20 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts, which moved the Chiefs to 6-5 for the season and kept their 2025 playoff hopes alive.

With 33 offensive touches, the...

On Thursday, the (6-5) Kansas City Chiefs will be on the road taking on the (5-5-1) Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. Let’s see how the game plays out in the “Madden NFL 26” video game!

First quarter

On just the second play of the game, wide receiver Xavier Worthy takes a slant route and explodes upfield for 42 yards, instantly flipping the field in the Chiefs’ favor. The drive, however, stalls when tight end Travis Kelce is stopped a yard short of the sticks on a drag route. Head coach Andy Reid sends placekicker Harrison Butker out to drill...

We’re expecting good food and good football across the country on Thursday afternoon, as the second game of the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day slate will be an exciting matchup between the (6-5) Kansas City Chiefs and the (5-5-1) Dallas Cowboys. Each team will be using momentum from a comeback victory to overcome fatigue from a short turnaround; both teams played on Sunday.

Speaking to reporters, head coach Andy Reid identified the Cowboys’ defensive line as a clear strength. It played a key role in their 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

“It starts up front with them,” said Reid....

The Kansas City Chiefs would not have escaped with Sunday’s much-needed 23-20 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts without a vintage performance by running back Kareem Hunt. Now in his eighth season, Hunt finished the game with 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown. He added three receptions for 26 yards in the passing game. Those 33 touches were the most in a game since his rookie season.

“It’s fun,” he said of the opportunity before Tuesday’s practice. “I definitely get to play a lot of football. That’s what I love to do, so it’s fun.”

But Hunt’s coaches...
