👋 Good morning! - The Dallas Cowboys won a football game last night. How did they win? By scoring more points than the other team. - Ali Jawad… oops sorry Magic Johnson.

The Dallas Cowboys walked into Sin City surrounded by emotion, controversy, and questions, and walked out with their most complete win of the season.

After benching CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to start the game, Dallas flipped the script, unleashing an explosive offensive performance and a new-look defense that suffocated the Raiders from the second quarter on.

Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns, Quinnen Williams got after Geno Smith in his Cowboys debut, and Dallas rolled to 33-16, setting up a massive showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday.

For a team grieving the loss of Marshawn Kneeland, the night carried weight beyond the box score.

The Cowboys honored his legacy with effort, intensity, and a defensive identity that had been missing all season, holding Las Vegas to just 27 rushing yards while generating sacks, turnovers, and even a safety from rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku.

Once Lamb and Pickens were unleashed, they reminded everyone why they're the heartbeat of Dallas’ offense, combining for 210 yards and two scores as Prescott delivered one of his sharpest outings of the year.

But bigger storms are coming, and Dallas knows it.

After improving to 4-5-1, the Cowboys now enter the most defining 11-day stretch of their season: home against the Eagles, followed by the Chiefs and Lions.

For one night, though, the grief eased, the locker room steadied, and a team that’s been through hell finally got to feel joy again.

The Dallas Mavericks got steamrolled on the second night of a back-to-back by Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, and, honestly, that was the least chaotic part of the night.

The DLLS Mavs crew spent an hour talking about basically everything but basketball just to cope.

Don’t worry, we broke down the carnage on the court, too.

The Stars’ five-game heater comes with plenty of chaos, Jamie Benn is finally on the verge of returning, the blue line is held together by duct tape, and Thomas Harley is suddenly “week-to-week.”

Tyler Seguin’s long-awaited silver-stick ceremony is set to deliver some serious nostalgia at the AAC, and yes, there’s an actual real stick under all that silver.

And in a week full of milestones, Razor Reaugh and two franchise legends found themselves headed to the Hall of Fame, diarrhea jokes included.

National pundits keep pushing the Rangers into the Edwin Díaz sweepstakes, but the truth is far less glamorous, payroll cuts mean Texas won’t be swimming with the big spenders this winter.

With Díaz unlikely, the real question becomes which realistic closers the Rangers can actually afford to chase.

Meanwhile, Jake Burger just delivered a monster Sunday…and Friday might be an even bigger moment for him.

Yep
