The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a narrow but stinging 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, making it one of Travis Kelce’s toughest nights of the season. Along with that, the usual and popular attendee, Taylor Swift, was not in attendance at this home game.
Travis Kelce’s Chiefs loses against Dallas Cowboys
The Chiefs entered their Thanksgiving matchup hoping to regain momentum, but Dallas kept control when it mattered most. The Cowboys’ win extended their streak to three games and strengthened their playoff hopes. For the Chiefs, the loss only added more pressure at a time when the team is already fighting for stability.
The game swung back and forth, but the Chiefs couldn’t stop Dallas from pulling ahead late. Even moments that looked like they could shift the game — including a near Cowboys turnover in the red zone — ended up going Dallas’ way after KaVontae Turpin recovered the ball and kept their drive alive. That series led to the field goal that ultimately decided the game.
The loss hit Travis Kelce’s Chiefs hard, leaving the team a bit shaken as they walked off the field. For Kelce, it was another night where he did what he could, but the pieces around him didn’t come together. Dallas looked confident from start to finish. The Cowboys have been hot since their bye week, and November 26’s win was their third in a row. Their offense kept pushing, spreading the ball around and keeping Kansas City off balance.
Kansas City still had opportunities late, but the Cowboys avoided disaster on multiple near-turnovers. George Pickens’ red-zone fumble could have flipped momentum to the Chiefs, yet KaVontae Turpin recovered it and kept the drive alive. That possession ended with a Brandon Aubrey field goal and ultimately the deciding score in the 31-28 finish.
While Travis Kelce fought on the field, fans quickly noticed someone missing in the stands: Taylor Swift. She attended the Chiefs’ home game just days earlier on November 23, but she has stayed away from away games this season, making it a less familiar face to support during Travis Kelce’s loss.
