Cowboys’ keys to victory: Keep the turnovers flowing. In Week 10 against the Falcons, the Dallas secondary had QB Matt Ryan’s number. Trevon Diggs, Anthony Brown and Jourdan Lewis each had intercepti­ons. The biggest problem for the Chiefs’ offense this season has been Patrick Mahomes’ uncharacte­ristic intercepti­ons. If the Cowboys’ defense can continue to be opportunis­tic and take the ball away from the K.C. offense, Dallas will be in good shape.

Chiefs’ keys to victory: Get Mahomes and the passing game in rhythm. One of the biggest problems for Kansas City over the past several weeks has been an inability to sustain drives and find a rhythm on offense. It needs to get the ball out quickly to guys like WRs Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman and TE Travis Kelce. The Cowboys are allowing more than yards per passing attempt this season, and while their defense has been opportunis­tic, they’re also susceptibl­e to long catches and runs.

Matchup to watch: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott vs. Chiefs DL Chris Jones. The former Mississipp­i State teammates have met in the NFL once before. Jones was held to an assisted tackle in the game and didn’t come close to sacking his former teammate.

Who wins? Kansas City is at home after a prime-time game against a division rival. The Cowboys are coming off a dominant and emotional win over the Falcons. Neither team might not have much left in the tank for Week 11.

Chiefs, 24-19
