Dallas and Las Vegas meet Monday night with both teams trying to stop midseason slides.
The Cowboys enter at 3-5-1 under first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer, having won just once in their past five games and facing increasingly long playoff odds. Quarterback Dak Prescott leads an offense averaging just under 21 points per game, while the defense has struggled against the run, giving up 129 yards per game.
The Raiders, 2-7 under first-year coach Pete Carroll, have dropped four straight and continue to search for answers offensively. Injuries and lineup changes have contributed to one of the league’s lowest-scoring units at 15 points per game.
Both teams need a win to keep faint postseason hopes alive. Dallas has not won on the road since Week 2, while Las Vegas is 1-3 at home.
Kickoff is set for 7:15 on Monday night at Allegiant Stadium.
