GLENDALE, Ariz. – The evening began with the Dallas Cowboys – players, coaches, staff and the Jones Family – locked arm in arm, taking a very discreet and symbolic knee while strung out along the numbers on their side before the field-covering American flag was unfurled for the national anthem, trying to express unity and equality for all as a team during this trying weekend.
And the Monday night nationally-televised game ended as it began, with the Cowboys taking a joyous knee as the clock expired on this 12-round, heavyweight bout of a football game.
The Decision: Cowboys 28, Cardinals 17.
