Kneeland made a big special teams play for the Cowboys last Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals . After Sam Williams blocked a punt, Kneeland chased down the ball and recovered it in the end zone. It was his first career touchdown. He died just three days later at the age of 24.
The Cowboys made waves by trading Parsons to Green Bay this summer. The All-Pro's addition boosted the Packers' Super Bowl odds . And his impact on the team's defense has been undeniable.
The Packers kept a high-flying Eagles' offense in check on Monday night. While Jalen Hurts didn't take a sack, Green Bay's pressure often forced the quarterback to scramble out of the pocket or release passes prematurely.
However, despite the strong defensive effort, the Packers' offense struggled against Philadelphia. The Eagles ultimately won Week 10's Monday Night Football matchup 10-7.
