"The Cowboys may actually beat the Chiefs. A month ago, that would've seemed impossible, but it's where we are today. Kansas City overcame two close losses to start the year and ripped off plenty of wins in a hurry, improving to 5-3 and looking ready to dominate the rest of the league again. Meanwhile, Dallas was consistently inconsistent, finding new ways to lose and then following it up with a win, only to lose again the next week."
"Now, as we approach a Thanksgiving clash between these two, things have changed. The Cowboys added some pieces during the bye week, improved their defense, and got their mojo back on offense. They've won two straight, including a gutsy comeback against the Eagles, and now sit at 5-5-1 and just three slots away from being a Wild Card team. The Chiefs, on the other hand, lost a close one to the Bills right before their bye."
"While most teams would interpret that as there being blood in the water, it really just highlights the frustrating nature of this Chiefs team: they find ways to win, no matter how ugly. As cliché as it sounds, it's true. Kansas City has become Super Bowl regulars in recent years because of a perfect synthesis of scheme in all three phases of the game."
The Cowboys improved during their bye week by adding personnel, tightening their defense, and regaining offensive momentum, winning two straight and sitting at 5-5-1 near a Wild Card spot. The Chiefs started by overcoming early losses to reach 5-3 but then dropped to 5-5 after close defeats and an overtime win that barely avoided a three-game skid. Kansas City continues to find ways to win despite uneven play. The Chiefs' sustained success stems from cohesive coaching and schemes across offense, defense, and special teams under Reid, Spagnuolo, and Toub.
