Chiefs vs. Cowboys: Mahomes finds Kelce for touchdown on Thanksgiving

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a shootout against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium this afternoon.

Both teams scored early touchdowns that evened the score at 7-7 as the Thanksgiving Day showdown approached the end of the first quarter. Kansas City scored first before the Cowboys answered with an impressive march downfield.

After a methodical drive on his second possession, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found star tight end Travis Kelce for a touchdown that gave Kansas City an early seven-point lead over Dallas.

Take a look at this video of Mahomes' touchdown pass to Kelce, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:

Kansas City's playoff aspirations hinge on a win in this holiday matchup, so the Chiefs can ill afford to take their foot off the gas.

Mahomes would be wise to continue targeting Kelce in the red zone as he looks to lead Kansas City to its seventh regular-season victory.
