by After a 90-minute weather delay, the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers got things going on Sunday Night Football. Dallas got the ball first after the long delay and scored three points thanks to a 55-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey.
Their defense then took the field and quickly saw one of their key players go down. Defensive end Marshawn Kneeland helped stop Justin Fields on a five-yard run but struggled to get up afterward.
Kneeland suffered an apparent knee injury and was unable to put weight on his right leg. He was helped to the medical tent and although there was no news, it appeared he was dealing with a serious problem.

It’s never good to see a player get hurt, but this is a big concern for Dallas as they are already without DeMarcus Lawrence – who was placed on IR – and Michah Parsons.
