"The Dallas Cowboys got back onto the football field and back in the win column, coming out of their bye week with a victory over the struggling Raiders. In truth, this game was never close, and the 33-16 final score doesn't reflect how lopsided this one really was. These five plays were instrumental in the Cowboys pulling ahead early. The Cowboys offense did not start the game off right."
"An already maligned Dallas defense was backed up in their own territory to start the drive. What happened next was huge. Geno Smith dropped back to pass and was quickly swarmed by both Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams, who both brought him down. It was a loss of seven that immediately backed Las Vegas up and directly led to a third and long pass, which fell incomplete."
"The next drive started similarly. A couple big runs got the ball to the Dallas 47, threatening another score. But on second and 10, Williams flew through the line of scrimmage and brought down Smith for his first full sack as a Cowboy. That immediately led to a third and long, which in turn led to a punt. The sack from Williams blew up what was looking like another scoring drive and ultimately bought time for the Cowboys"
The Dallas Cowboys returned from their bye week to beat the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16 in a lopsided game. Dallas began poorly, with a three-and-out followed by a strip-sack that put the Raiders in scoring position. A Geno Smith sack by Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams produced a seven-yard loss that forced a Raiders field goal. Later, Quinnen Williams recorded his first full sack as a Cowboy, creating a third-and-long and a punt. Those defensive plays stopped promising Raider drives, bought time for Dallas, and helped fuel consecutive Cowboys touchdowns to pull away.
