"But more than just the win, the Cowboys welcomed in some new players, either through trades or recovering from injury, to the defense. The upgrade was immediately visible. Quinnen Williams was a bull in the Raiders' china shop. He was plain ol' wrecking stuff. Logan Wilson and DeMarvion Overshown have steadied the linebacker corps, and Caelen Carson (who actually returned versus the Cardinals) and Shavon Revel give the Cowboys real options at corner."
"Let's get the obvious out of the way. It was just the Las Vegas Raiders. The previously 2-7, now 2-8 Raiders. So a dominating 33-16 blowout in primetime doesn't have the same feel like if they did this against a team with at least a winning record. Still, after the Arizona debacle, you take the improvement. But more than just the win, the Cowboys welcomed in some new players, either through trades or recovering from injury, to the defense. The upgrade was immediately visible."
"Perhaps no team in the NFL will be changed as much as the Cowboys over their bye. The offense found their groove again and the pairing of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens is borderline illegal. Given all that happened recently, including the on-the-field product of Monday night, how confident are you now that the Cowboys are headed in the right direction?"
The Cowboys dominated the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16 in primetime despite the Raiders' 2-8 record. The defense improved markedly after adding players via trades and returns from injury. Quinnen Williams disrupted the Raiders' offense, while Logan Wilson and DeMarvion Overshown steadied the linebacker corps. Caelen Carson (who returned versus the Cardinals) and Shavon Revel expanded cornerback options. The offense rediscovered a groove, and the pairing of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens created dynamic downfield threats. The team appears significantly altered after the bye, showing clearer identity and execution on both sides of the ball.
