"It was a return to the familiar, in a lot of ways, for the Cowboys on Monday night. Playing for the first time since the tragic loss of Marshawn Kneeland, Dallas looked confident and in control as they beat the Raiders 33-16 on Monday Night Football. Afterwards, down on the field, Dak Prescott spoke about how the experience was a form of healing for not only him but the team as a whole."
"Getting back into that rhythm after the bye, the shakeup of the roster at the trade deadline, and the emotional whiplash of Kneeland's passing was a big step for the team. As Brian Schottenheimer previously said, they weren't moving on but moving forward. And by winning, they not only honored their teammate but also managed to snap a two-game losing streak."
"It started off with some confusion, though. The Cowboys got the ball to start, and everyone quickly noticed that neither CeeDee Lamb nor George Pickens were on the field at all. Dallas quickly went three-and-out, and sideline reporter Lisa Salters confirmed it was a coach's decision and nothing to do with an injury. That brought up the first look at this new Dallas defense, featuring newly-minted Cowboys Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson,"
The Cowboys defeated the Raiders 33-16 on Monday Night Football in the first game since Marshawn Kneeland's tragic death, and the team showed confidence and control. The win provided emotional healing for players, as described by Dak Prescott, and snapped a two-game losing streak. Coaches made notable personnel decisions, including benching CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to start the game and activating new defensive additions. The revamped defense, featuring Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, combined with returning injured players, pressured the Raiders into punts and limited them to a field goal after a strip sack.
