FINAL: Seattle Seahawks Suffer 41-35 Defeat vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Seattle Seahawks visit the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football at AT&T Stadium in a primetime NFC matchup.
Both teams played seven days ago on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 45-10 while the Seahawks lost 31-13 to the San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle (6-5) has lost three of its last four games and will need a win over Dallas in order to keep pace with the Niners in the NFC West.
The Cowboys (8-3) have won three straight games and are undefeated at home this season. Overall, Dallas is on a 13-game winning streak at home dating back to last season.
The Seahawks will be without running back Kenneth Walker III, who is out due to an oblique injury that also kept him sidelined in the loss to San Francisco.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll praised what he's seen from the Cowboys in recent weeks, who have found success due to the play of quarterback Dak Prescott.
BREAKING: Seahawks vs. Eagles Week 15 Tilt Flexed to MNF
“They’re doing a lot of really good things. Very consistent on offense, Dak has been really on fire. They have just been really clicking. They’ve been playing good defense all year long, but they’re feeding off of that offense, and it’s a really good complementary game that they present you. Special teams as well, so they have a well-rounded team that you’re dealing with, and they know it right now. They know it and they can feel it and they have a lot of confidence.”
