Two-time NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green spoke with Pak Gazette Digital about the upcoming games. He said the two teams that most need a win are two of the teams facing each other: the Cowboys and the Chiefs.
The Chiefs and Cowboys could be the biggest Thanksgiving game in history in terms of attendance. (The) number of people looking at that afternoon window is always the largest window. You got the tie from the Cowboys,” Green said. “You got the tie from (Patrick) Mahomes and the Chiefs. Both are coming off great comebacks in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys, obviously, were down by 21 points and they came back and found a way to win. The Chiefs had to score 11 in the fourth quarter and then go to overtime to get that win and get to 6-5.
