The Dallas Cowboys are back home for the first time since the tragic death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.
Kneeland took his own life during the team’s bye week, which led to an outpouring of emotion and tributes from teams around the league. That included the Las Vegas Raiders, who hosted the Cowboys in Week 11.

Defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton arrived at the stadium in a No. 94 Kneeland jersey. He did the same thing last week, wearing the road jersey before they took on the Raiders.
When heading out of the locker room, defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa also had a classy tribute, carrying a No. 94 flag during pregame warmups.
