AutoDraft Pro AI

The Dallas Cowboys extensively honored their former teammate Marshawn Kneeland, who tragically died on November 6 at age 24 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, before and during their 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. This marked the Cowboys' first game since his death. Tributes included players from both teams wearing shirts bearing Kneeland's face during warm-ups, with Raiders' jerseys also featuring a suicide prevention helpline number. The Cowboys displayed his number 94 jersey in the locker room and on their bench, which Ryan Flournoy and Osa Odighizuwa carried off the field. Dallas players will wear #94 decals on their helmets for the rest of the season, with similar home game tributes planned against the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who wore a 'One Love' wristband in homage to Kneeland's phrase, spoke emotionally about vulnerability and the team's brotherhood, emphasizing, "Marshawn was such a kind, loving, sweet soul, that it hurt." Kneeland, a 2024 second-round draft pick, played 18 times, including four starts.
