Las Vegas suffered an embarrassing home defeat on Monday and is stuck in a never-ending cycle of ignominy despite sweeping offseason changes.

The Dallas Cowboys have won their first game since the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes in Monday night's 33-16 win over the spiraling Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders have had four different head coaches in the last five years, and firing Carroll would only add to the lack of stability in Las Vegas. Still, if the team doesn't show any improvement from last year's 4-13 finish, the team may have no other choice but to move on from him.

Cowboys 33, Raiders 16 — FINAL After an emotional bye week, the Cowboys put together a full three-phase effort behind big nights from George Pickens and Quinnen Williams. The post-bye stretch starts off on a mighty high note. Cowboys move to 4-5-1. Thoughts?

The Cowboys go 79 yards in 12 plays to put some light between them and the Raiders. In the end, they went for it on fourth and one from the six. Jake Ferguson found a spot spot in the zone and Dak Prescott found him for the score.

The Cowboys are now one win away from an even record after beating the Raiders 33-16 on Monday Night Football. The combined record of the four opponents the Cowboys (4-5-1) have beaten is now 9-33. It’s a worthwhile caveat, considering the Cowboys played one of their best games of the season against a struggling Raiders team.

The Las Vegas Raiders have 10 games under Pete Carroll and they are not getting better. In fact, they are getting worse. It wasn’t fired special teams coach Tom McMahon’s fault. It is that they are just a few tweaks from winning close games.
