The Chiefs will play on Thanksgiving for the first time in Patrick Mahomes’ career when the club plays the Cowboys on Thursday afternoon.

In his Tuesday press conference, Mahomes was asked about playing on the holidays.

“You grow up watching Thanksgiving games no matter who you’re a fan of,” Mahomes said. “If it’s the Lions, Cowboys, or whoever is playing at night, you grow up watching those games. I think that kid in me wants to be able to go out there and play on Thanksgiving and find a way to win.

“Obviously, a short week where we’re grinding in here right now and getting the whole game plan in and making sure everybody’s prepared and ready to go. I think we’re excited to get to go out there and play on Thanksgiving against a really good football team and the whole world watching.”
