QB Dak Prescott discusses how Cowboys plan to keep honoring Marshawn Kneeland after Week 11 win

Winning one game after defensive end Marshawn Kneeland's death was challenging enough, but the Dallas Cowboys managed it. Now, can the team turn the tragedy into motivation for a playoff run? Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott believes they can. Following a 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on "Monday Night Football," the 32-year-old passer discussed how Dallas will use it to keep honoring Kneeland, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 24 years old on Nov. 6. Dak Prescott expands on how tragedy can power late-season rally "This doesn't put a cap on it. We're going to continue to move forward, shining a light on Marshawn and carrying his legacy," Prescott said. "And we need to play like this every week moving forward. He'll be with us." The Cowboys had one of their better games against the Raiders, allowing a season-low 236 yards. Dallas has new defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to thank for the defensive showing, acquired from the New York Jets just before the trade deadline. Against the Raiders, the defensive lineman had a season-high 1.5 sacks. Prescott, meanwhile, played like an MVP candidate. The signal-caller completed 25-of-33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Beating the 2-8 Raiders, however, isn't going to put the rest of the league on notice. Dallas (4-5-1) must prove itself against better competition, which it will have plenty of opportunities to do in the coming weeks. ESPN's Football Power Index ranks the Cowboys' remaining schedule as the sixth-hardest in the league. The difficult stretch starts in Week 12 when Dallas hosts the Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) at 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox). As of Tuesday, ESPN Analytics gives Philadelphia a 55.2 percent chance to win Sunday's game. But after what the Cowboys endured, pulling off an upset against the reigning Super Bowl champions no longer seems so daunting. "To have a testimony, you've got to go through a test," Prescott said. "And this is a big test to our brotherhood, who we are, and to this organization, to us individually. Let's have pride, and let's honor our brother. "And if we can continue to do that, move forward, carrying the light and play the way we did tonight, why not?" Prescott wrote the phrase "One Love," one of Kneeland's favorite sayings, on his wristband on Monday night. Keeping that mantra in mind will be imperative during the late-season stretch. It will remind the Cowboys that making the playoffs isn't their only goal. They also want to continue honoring their teammate — an important objective for the rest of the season.
