"All it took was a trip to Vegas and a little lady luck, and the Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column with a 33-16 victory over the Raiders on Monday night. While beating a struggling Raiders team isn't hitting the jackpot, the Cowboys put some good football on display, and not just on the offensive side. The defense played well, too. It was just what we were hoping for after the team made some changes before the trade deadline."
"The game started out weird when both of the Cowboys' star receivers were seen standing on the sideline on the team's first offensive possession. The offense ran three plays for six yards and then punted the ball away while the rest of us looked on in bewilderment. As it turned out, the reason CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens didn't start was a coach's decision."
"After a three-and-out on the Cowboys' first series, the offense did one worse and gave the ball away when Dak Prescott had the ball stripped away. This set the Raiders up 1st-and-10 at the Cowboys' 15-yard line. Fortunately, the defense came up with a huge stop. Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark shot up the middle and sacked Geno Smith for a seven-yard loss. After a short five-yard gain and an incompletion, the Raiders had to settle for a 35-yard field goal."
"The team's new prized defensive tackle wasted no time making his presence felt. The shared sack with Clark was just the beginning. Quinnen Williams had a fantastic debut with his new team. In fact, it's hard to imagine it going any better than it did. The defense held rookie running back Ashton Jeanty to just seven yards rushing, the lowest of his career."
The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16 on Monday night, snapping a losing streak and showing improvement on both offense and defense. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens initially stood on the sideline but returned to combine for over 200 receiving yards and each scored a touchdown. An early Dak Prescott fumble set up a Raiders field goal, but the Cowboys defense forced a stop when Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark shared a sack. Williams delivered a standout debut, the run defense limited Ashton Jeanty to seven rushing yards, and the defense totaled eight tackles for loss.
