The Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys held a moment of silence to honor Marshawn Kneeland before their Monday Night Football game. Pictures of Kneeland were displayed on the jumbotrons at Allegiant Stadium.
Many NFL teams had already paid tribute to Kneeland during Week 10. This was the Cowboys' first game since Kneeland's death, and players and coaches expressed that it was an emotional week for them.
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer stated that the team's heart was heavy and that they would move forward. Owner Jerry Jones expressed his shock at the news and hoped the game would offer some comfort to the players.
The Cowboys organization showed multiple ways of honoring Kneeland, including wearing custom t-shirts and pins with his number during pregame warmups, and they will wear a special helmet decal for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the Cowboys established a "Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund" to provide support, particularly to Kneeland's pregnant girlfriend, Catalina.
