Cowboys honour Kneeland before win against Raiders

Before their 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Dallas Cowboys paid tribute to Marshawn Kneeland with a number of tributes.

The 24-year-old was found dead earlier this month after fleeing his car on foot after a collision that occurred as he was being pursued by police.

The defensive lineman appeared to have committed suicide, according to the Texas police department in Frisco.

The Raiders’ first game since Kneeland’s death was the Monday Night Football game, which the Cowboys won after a bye in NFL Week 10 against the Raiders.

Kneeland’s jersey number 94 was displayed in a locker the Cowboys prepared in the dressing room.

The Cowboys’ second-round pick for the 2024 draft made 18 starts and eight starts.

In homage to Kneeland’s famous phrase, Quarterback Dak Prescott wore a “One Love” wristband, whose brother Jace committed suicide in 2020.

There is no better peace than playing football on this field, Prescott said, and I am aware that many other men are doing the same.

“It was a blessing to be here; this is where I can heal,” said the doctor. We are blessed to continue Marshawn’s light for him, and we love him dearly.

The Cowboys won their fourth game of the campaign with four touchdowns under Prescott.

The 32-year-old quickly struck CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and George Pickens to give the visitors a 214-6 lead before hitting Ryan Flournoy for his final connection.

The Raiders are bottom of the AFC West while the Cowboys are in front of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.
