The Dallas Cowboys are feeling good about themselves after a dominant 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Monday was Dallas’ first game since the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland , who took his own life Nov. 6.
The team dedicated the performance to Kneeland, their fallen teammate. On the field, the Cowboys put together their best defensive performance and continued to be dangerous on offense. At 4-5-1 and 10th in the NFC, now is the time for Dallas to get hot if it wants to return to the postseason. The Cowboys’ leader, quarterback Dak Prescott , believes they can do it.
“And I know I’ve been saying that, [and] I’ll probably keep saying that, ‘Why not?’ And it’s more about we’re in control, right? We’re in control, and life’s going to throw things at us, and it threw us a hell of a curveball this past week,” Prescott said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “And how are we going to respond? That’s what I was telling the team. To have a testimony we’ve got to go through a test. And this is a big test to our brotherhood and who we are, and to this organization, to us individually.
“Let’s have pride and let’s honor our brother. And if we can continue to do that, move forward carrying that light and play the way that we did tonight, why not?”
