"The Dallas Cowboys had their way with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night and as a result the spirits around America's Team are high for the first time in a while. Winning is a wonderful feeling. It remains to be seen as to whether or not the Cowboys can truly go on a magical run, make the playoffs, and all of that jazz. For now we are just taking things week by week. If things work out in the end we will celebrate accordingly."
"As it relates to the Cowboys and where they are at following the Raiders win, we have to put the performance in its proper place historically. Thankfully things like Pro Football Reference and Stathead make this easy to do. Let's dive into this week's historical notes. The Cowboys entered this game with a three-game losing streak on Monday Night Football. Thankfully that is over."
"Monday night saw George Pickens eclipse 900 receiving yards on the season. He is just the 15th player to do this in the first 10 games of a stint with a franchise, and he is the only member in Cowboys franchise history (since 1970) to do this. There are some pretty incredible names here and some players who did it as rookies on their teams. George is doing some very special things and it has been so fun to watch."
Dallas delivered a decisive win over the Las Vegas Raiders and energized the team's morale after recent struggles. The team ended a three-game losing streak on Monday Night Football, a skid not seen since 2012–2014. Historical context is noted using databases like Pro Football Reference and Stathead to place the performance in perspective. The Cowboys have played multiple MNF games in consecutive seasons, including a technically counted late‑December 2023 MNF broadcast. George Pickens eclipsed 900 receiving yards in his first ten games with the franchise, becoming the 15th player overall and the only Cowboy since 1970 to reach that mark. Pickens recorded his third game with 130 receiving yards and a touchdown; the Cowboys single-season record for such games is four by Miles Austin in 2009.
