The Dallas Cowboys not only made a statement with their 31–28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on November 28, 2025, but also drew attention postgame as
George Pickens delivered a sharp response to FOX Sports analyst Nick Wright, who predicted that Dallas “had no chance” heading into the matchup.
Nick Wright Casts Doubt on Cowboys Before the Game
During FOX Sports’ pre-Thanksgiving coverage, Nick Wright — widely known as a longtime Chiefs supporter — dismissed Dallas’ chances and argued that Mike McCarthy’s team would struggle to keep up with Kansas City.
Wright suggested:
-
Dallas would face significant problems moving the ball
-
The Cowboys’ offense wouldn’t sustain drives for four quarters
-
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ defense would control the game
His comments quickly circulated and didn’t go unnoticed inside the Cowboys’ locker room.

After Dallas flipped the script with a 31–28 win, Pickens was asked about Wright’s remarks. The Cowboys wide receiver didn’t hesitate, delivering a direct and pointed message:
“Tell him to eat his words.”
The short but firm response made clear that Pickens took issue with the pregame dismissal of his team.
On-Field Production Backs Up Pickens’ Response
Pickens played a key role in the passing game, consistently creating separation and contributing to Dallas’ offensive rhythm.
Meanwhile, CeeDee Lamb
delivered a standout performance with:
-
112 receiving yards
-
1 touchdown
-
3 defensive pass interference calls against Chiefs defenders
Those plays helped Dallas maintain control in crucial late-game situations.
The overall execution from the Cowboys’ offense showed Wright’s pregame concerns were misplaced.
Cowboys Send a Strong Message
The win over Kansas City — combined with Pickens’ decisive postgame comments — sent a clear message across the league:
The Dallas Cowboys are not a team to be underestimated.
Dallas proved they can compete with the NFL’s best and are more than willing to let their performance on the field answer any criticism.
