Dak Prescott Dedicates Cowboys’ 24-21 Win to Marshawn Kneeland as Dallas Honors DE at First Home Game Since His Death

Team leaders describe expert-led meetings and shared tributes that they say helped the locker room process its loss.

Overview

  • The Cowboys opened the night with a video tribute and moment of silence, placed a framed No. 94 jersey on the bench, and carried a flag honoring Kneeland, which players later passed around in the locker room.
  • Dak Prescott said the victory was for Kneeland in a postgame interview and, during the game, he moved past Tony Romo for the franchise record in career passing yards.
  • Dallas’ defense kept Philadelphia scoreless after halftime and produced a pivotal fourth-quarter takeaway by Saquon Barkley to seal the 24-21 result.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team held a Nov. 10 meeting with mental-health experts and breakout sessions to talk, grieve and strengthen bonds.
  • Frisco police have said Kneeland, 24, died by suicide following a police pursuit earlier in November, and the Cowboys have continued public remembrances and support for those close to him.
