⚡ FLASH NEWS: NFL’s Thanksgiving games are on track to shatter regular season ratings—not just once, but twice.QQ
Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Dallas next Thursday for Thanksgiving to face the surging Cowboys. Patrick Mahomes will look to replicate his performance against the Colts and hopes to have Isiah Pacheco available for this crucial game.
In a recent conversation with the media, the coach delivered good news to his quarterback. Although he is still recovering from a knee injury, all signs indicate that the running back will be able to play at AT&T Stadium.
“We’ll see how he does today. But we’ll get him in there. He’ll play,” Charles Goldman reported via his official X account. This is a significant upgrade for the Chiefs’ offense as they look to maintain their winning streak.
Pacheco has been one of the most indispensable pieces of this team, thanks to the explosiveness he brings to the ground game. His presence in Arlington will give Reid’s squad an important boost.

A long-awaited return
The Kansas City Chiefs are highly anticipating the return of starting running back Isiah Pacheco, who is targeting a return to the lineup for the crucial Thanksgiving Day road game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 8 with an MCL sprain in his right knee, and his comeback is expected to provide a significant boost to a Chiefs offense that has struggled to find consistency on the ground in his absence.
With the veteran back trending positively, as evidenced by his recent listing as a full practice participant, his return is vital for Kansas City as they seek to re-establish a reliable rushing attack and take pressure off the passing game in the final stretch of the season.
What’s next for the Chiefs?
The Chiefs face a demanding and high-profile slate of games as they fight for playoff positioning in the AFC West. Their crucial stretch begins with a massive national audience when they travel to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
Following that challenging road test, the Chiefs return home to Arrowhead for two consecutive games: first, a prime-time clash against the Houston Texans, and then a critical AFC West showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, a rivalry game that could have significant implications for the division race and the Wild Card picture.
