The Cowboys’ win improves their record to 6-5-1, bolstering their position in a competitive NFC playoff race.

Prescott completed passes to multiple receivers, including a key connection with Pickens when it mattered most. The Chiefs, despite a strong performance from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were unable to capitalize on their opportunities in the closing stages of the game.
This result adds further complexity to the AFC playoff landscape, where several teams are vying for limited spots.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, aim to build on this momentum and solidify their position as a contender in the NFC.
