TL;DR
- Dallas Cowboys face must-win games to keep playoff hopes alive after Eagles victory.
- Dak Prescott emphasizes the need to win every remaining game, starting with the Chiefs.
- CeeDee Lamb's performance is crucial; avoiding fumbles is essential against Kansas City.
- Cowboys need a near-flawless game to defeat the dangerous Kansas City Chiefs.
The Dallas Cowboys know that while the win over the Philadelphia Eagles was superb, it counts for nothing in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
With a 5-5-1 record, the Cowboys remain in a desperate situation, as the playoffs are still distant, even after a victory against Kansas City. Consequently, Brian Schottenheimer's squad faces pressure to secure consecutive wins against top opponents to have any shot.
And don't worry, the gravity of the situation in front of the Cowboys isn't lost on Dak Prescott; he knows that it is very much a must-win or go-home time for his team.
“We got to win every game at this point,” Prescott said. "The Philly game doesn't mean anything right now. Nothing that's happened up to this point really means anything other than it's put us in the position to be must-win games. We're going to give it our best and feel very confident in us.”

CeeDee Lamb's performance is crucial for The Cowboys against the Chiefs.
The Chiefs might not be "the" Chiefs we are used to, but their win over the Indianapolis Colts is proof that Andy Reid's team, with Patrick Mahomes at the helm, is still as dangerous as ever.
Consequently, the Cowboys must avoid the error-prone performance they displayed versus the Eagles and Chiefs, and crucially, prevent CeeDee Lamb from fumbling multiple catches. Dallas needs to execute a nearly flawless game to defeat Kansas City, and even that may prove insufficient.
Thursday's focus is on efficiency, with The Cowboys having an opportunity to not only sustain their playoff aspirations but possibly conclude Kansas City's run as well.
A monster game awaits.
