DALLAS — The Cowboys' 33-16 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night was more than just a big win. It was a tribute to their teammate Marshawn Kneeland, who died on Nov. 6 .
And the emotions poured out in the locker room after the game, including from Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer.
"Hey, before we do all the celebration stuff," Schottenheimer began to tell his team. Then he started to tear up as he looked around the room.
"So proud of you guys, man," Schottenheimer said. "Tough couple weeks."
One of the Cowboys, holding Kneeland's jersey, stepped in to give Schottenheimer a hug.
"We made him proud!" Schottenheimer told his team, before getting into individual shoutouts for the win.
