The Chiefs won the toss and deferred which put the Cowboys on offense first.
Like last week this turned out to be a not-so-great thing. Under pressure on the third play of the game, Dak Prescott was intercepted
and the Chiefs were already in striking distance after the return.
It took 3 plays for the Chiefs to take the ball away and it took fewer for them to score. On their second offensive play of the day Kansas City saw Patrick Mahomes hook up with Rashee Rice for the easy touchdown.
SCORE: COWBOYS 0, CHIEFS 7 (Patrick Mahomes to Rashee Rice touchdown)
The Cowboys did a great job of not letting the previous drive get to them as they appeared very comfortable when back on offense. Notably CeeDee Lamb looked particularly great which was awesome to see given last week’s struggles.
Lamb was indeed very consistent on the drive, so much so that he put an end to it with a touchdown to equalize things for the Cowboys.
SCORE: COWBOYS 7, CHIEFS 7 (Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb touchdown)
In the blink of an eye the Chiefs were back within striking distance. We knew all along this game would be like this in certain stretches.
The defense got Kansas City into a third down, but unfortunately Patrick Mahomes was able to scramble and move the chains. A few plays later the Chiefs were in a 4th and Goal situation and rolled the dice. They hit.
SCORE: COWBOYS 7, CHIEFS 14 (Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce touchdown)
That was it for the first quarter.
