The Dallas Cowboys spoiled Kansas City’s Thanksgiving, beating the Chiefs 31-28 at AT&T Stadium on November 27, 2025. Dak Prescott threw an interception on his third snap of the afternoon, then settled in and carved up the Chiefs defense for 320 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Aubrey added three field goals, and a Dallas pass rush led by Jadeveon Clowney sacked Patrick Mahomes three times and kept Kansas City off the board through the second and third quarters.
The supporting numbers were lopsided everywhere but the final margin. Dallas outgained the Chiefs 457 yards to 362, converted nine of 16 third downs, and won time of possession at 30:54. Kansas City answered with four Mahomes touchdown passes but undid much of that work with 10 penalties for 119 yards. What follows is the full Chiefs vs Cowboys box score and player stats, including passing, rushing, receiving, defense, and special teams.

Pickens put the ball on the ground after a fourth-quarter catch, but Turpin fell on it for Dallas. Neither team lost a fumble, so Prescott’s first-quarter interception stood as the only turnover of the day.

What the final box score showed
Strip out the fourth-quarter swings and the result came down to a handful of plain numbers. Dallas gained 95 more yards, moved the chains on 56 percent of its third downs to Kansas City’s 38, and gave the ball away only once, yet still pulled away because the Chiefs kept flagging themselves. Those 10 penalties for 119 yards handed Dallas five first downs the offense never had to earn.
Mahomes’ four touchdown passes kept the scoreboard close, but his 261 yards came with three sacks and a long stretch in the middle quarters when Kansas City could not finish a drive. Prescott was not sacked once, and the Cowboys punted a single time all afternoon. The win was Dallas’ third in a row and made it the first team since the 2016 Atlanta Falcons to beat the previous season’s Super Bowl participants in back-to-back weeks, having knocked off Philadelphia four days earlier. Kansas City walked out of Arlington at 6-6, its worst record through 12 games since Mahomes’ rookie season in 2017.
