Arlington, Texas – 28/11/2025

AT&T Stadium has witnessed countless iconic moments, but this Thanksgiving night will be remembered for years to come. The Dallas Cowboys escaped with a thrilling 31–28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and the center of the NFL universe was none other than Dak Prescott – who unexpectedly broke an NFL record in the final seconds of the game, as 90,000 fans roared loud enough to shake the roof.

Prescott entered the matchup under immense pressure, facing Patrick Mahomes in one of the most anticipated showdowns of the season. But when the final whistle blew, it was Dak who left the entire NFL stunned. Not only did he lead the Cowboys on a 78-yard game-winning drive, he officially set the NFL record for the most Thanksgiving Day wins by a quarterback in the modern era – a milestone few believed he could ever reach.

The moment that detonated AT&T Stadium came on a scramble lasting more than nine seconds, as Prescott escaped three pass rushers and fired a 28-yard dart between two defenders to find CeeDee Lamb near the sideline, setting up the decisive score. It was a sequence ESPN reporters called “so crazy it defied logic,” while broadcaster Joe Buck exclaimed, “Dak Prescott is rewriting history right before our eyes.”

What made the night even more remarkable was Prescott’s composure, coming after weeks of questioning whether he could carry the Cowboys against elite opponents. On this night, he silenced everything with a commanding performance: 324 yards, three touchdowns, and no mistakes in the fourth quarter.

“That was a moment of trust and responsibility,” Prescott said after the game. “I knew the team needed me, and I just wanted to rise at the right time.”

The Cowboys improved to 9–3, sending a powerful message to the entire NFC that they are ready for the playoff chase. And Prescott – with a new record and a night that shook the NFL – proved he is not just the Cowboys’ quarterback, but the heartbeat of their championship ambitions.

A Thanksgiving night, a historic eruption, and a Dak Prescott no one can overlook anymore. Cowboys Nation will remember this night forever.
