Amid grief over the recent death of 24-year-old defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, the Cowboys beat the Raiders 33-16 in Las Vegas, their first win in nearly a month. Dak Prescott, who threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, framed the night as fuel for a harder push, while rookie coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team honored Kneeland with focused, simplified plans. New arrival Quinnen Williams had 1.5 sacks as a reenergized defense dominated. Owner Jerry Jones tempered playoff hopes but called the future brighter; Dallas faces a daunting stretch ahead.
