The kickoff of Week 13 was nothing short of spectacular, witnessing the Dallas Cowboys maintaining their unbeaten home streak with a remarkable 41-35 triumph over the Seattle Seahawks. This marked Dallas's 14th consecutive victory, bringing them within four wins of equalling their franchise record of 18 consecutive home victories.

In the most high-scoring "Thursday Night Football" showdown of the year, there wasn't a single punt throughout the game, making it only the fifth such occurrence in NFL history. Adding to the intensity, the matchup saw a staggering 19 penalties, with the Cowboys and Seahawks collectively accumulating 257 penalty yards—setting a new season record for the highest total penalty yards in a game.

Further solidifying his MVP candidacy, Dak Prescott delivered an impressive performance with 299 passing yards and three touchdowns. Over the last six games, Prescott has accumulated 20 passing touchdowns, setting a new franchise record for the most in a six-game span. Once again, CeeDee Lamb proved to be Prescott's go-to receiver, securing 12 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Additional touchdown receptions were made by Jake Ferguson and Brandin Cooks, while Tony Pollard contributed 68 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Despite the defeat, the Seahawks showcased impressive offensive performance. DK Metcalf was a standout, making six receptions for an impressive 134 yards and three touchdowns, while rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba contributed 62 yards on seven receptions. In the closing moments of the fourth quarter, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had an opportunity to orchestrate a game-winning drive with 1:43 left but fell short on a fourth-and-2 at the 50-yard line. Smith concluded the game with 23 completions on 41 attempts, amassing 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

Up until the arrival of the Seahawks, the Cowboys had not experienced a deficit in any home game throughout the entire season. Remarkably, Dallas found themselves trailing 21-20 at halftime. Despite occasional defensive challenges in containing the Seahawks, who, like the Cowboys, refrained from punting throughout the entire game, Prescott and his team consistently responded each time they were summoned.

Dallas found the end zone on eight out of nine possessions, excluding kneel-downs, with the only exception being a drop by Lamb on a fourth-and-2 in the late third quarter. The Cowboys amassed a total of 411 offensive yards, converted 8 of 14 third downs, maintained a turnover-free performance, and dominated the time of possession battle. Prescott's stellar display included three passing touchdowns, elevating his presence in the MVP conversation, a status that is now even more undeniable given his outstanding performance in recent weeks.

While the Seahawks defense struggled to contain the Cowboys throughout the night, managing only one stop due to a dropped pass by Lamb on fourth down, Seattle did limit Dallas to a 4-of-8 performance in the red zone. However, the undeniable reality remains that the Seahawks offense, despite an overall impressive showing, faced challenges by turning the ball over on downs for three consecutive drives in the fourth quarter.

Choosing not to go for a QB sneak or "tush push" on a crucial fourth-and-1 at the Cowboys' 46-yard line with seven minutes left in the game, the Seahawks instead handed the ball off to Zach Charbonnet, resulting in no gain. Subsequently, the Cowboys capitalized on the opportunity, covering 54 yards in seven plays and securing the lead with a Ferguson touchdown. In their subsequent drive, the Seahawks attempted to convert a fourth-and-4 from their own 49-yard line. Unfortunately, a miscommunication between Smith and Smith-Njigba led to an incomplete pass attempt. Seizing the moment, the Cowboys then extended their lead with a 32-yard field goal.

Next week, the Seahawks face another road challenge, heading to California to clash with the San Francisco 49ers, who previously defeated Seattle by 18 points on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will remain at home, hosting Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.
