The Dallas Cowboys went into Sin City and took the Las Vegas Raiders behind the woodshed Monday night, earning a decisive 33-16 win.
They improved their record to a modest 4-5-1 in the process. It was an impressive showing on both sides of the ball, with the defense stepping up to match the production that the offense has been delivering for most of the season.
The Cowboys' D had a lot of new faces that were new to town or got healthy over the bye week, and looked like a completely different unit. Still, many fans are not completely sold on whether this bunch is capable of matching the same type of stinginess moving forward.
