And this might be the very first time that I&#8217;ve ever won him over in an argument. I came in here last Tuesday. I said, Stephen A., the Cowboys are for real. You were making fun of me. You were saying I was entertainment tonight. I&#8217;m Kevin Frazier all of a sudden. Well, now, all of a sudden, look at the Dallas Cowboys. What have we said about them all year long? Their offense is great. Their defense is abysmal. Suddenly, it&#8217;s not so abysmal,&#8221; Greeny said. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">&#8220;They just need to be decent. The Cowboy defense looked decent yesterday. They shut the Eagles down to absolutely nothing after the 21-0 lead. Dak did his magic. And all of a sudden, it sets up what will be the most anticipated and, Stephen A., I&#8217;m going to predict the most viewed NFL regular season game in the sports history ever. On Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Shea, I heard you reading the numbers and the percentages, but magical things can happen coming off wins like this. If the Cowboys win on Thursday, Stephen A., and I&#8217;m predicting they will, I believe the Cowboys make a second half run. Schedule gets pretty soft after the Detroit game. I predict they make a second-half run. and are at minimum in the playoff chase to the final two weeks of the season, where they have Washington and the Giants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7i\"><strong>MORE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/onsi\/draft\/updated-2026-nfl-draft-order-following-dallas-cowboys-epic-week-12-comeback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Updated 2026 NFL Draft order following Cowboys&#8217; epic Week 12 comeback<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7l\">Dallas consistently has the most-watched game on Thanksgiving, and with a marquee matchup like the Chiefs, it would be a surprise if it doesn&#8217;t come close to smashing ratings records. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7o\">Kickoff between the Cowboys and Chiefs is set for 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
