The Dallas Cowboys defeat the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16 on Monday night in Las Vegas, led by four touchdown passes from quarterback Dak Prescott.

The win marks the team’s first game since the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland earlier this month.

Before kickoff, the Cowboys held a moment of silence and wore helmet decals featuring Kneeland’s number, “94,” as part of a season-long tribute. Players also appeared in pregame warmups wearing commemorative shirts honoring the 24-year-old rookie.

Prescott’s four-touchdown performance helped Dallas take control early, and the Cowboys maintained the lead throughout. The team says it will continue wearing Kneeland’s number on helmets for the remainder of the season.
