What happened: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott shared that he remembers late teammate Marshawn Kneeland every day and honors him before taking the field. Prescott explained that he finishes his pregame prayer by asking to play for Kneeland and others who no longer can. The quarterback emphasized that life is delicate and should never be taken for granted.

Why it matters: Kneeland was a defensive end for the Cowboys before his passing in November 2025. Prescott has consistently served as a leadership anchor and mental health advocate for the franchise following the loss. The pregame tribute highlights the ongoing personal bond shared across the locker room.

By the numbers: Prescott has completed 197 of 302 passes for 2,046 yards with 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games. The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5 in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The Cowboys look to snap a one-game skid after dropping a 33-30 decision to Arizona as they continue their 2026 regular season.
