The Raiders have a 6-3 lead at the end of the first quarter thanks to two field goals by placekicker Daniel Carlson. However, the Cowboys completely flipped the script on them from the start of the second quarter.

Dak Prescott scored three passing touchdowns, giving his team some breathing room. Before halftime, Carlson scored a 38-yard field goal, minimizing the deficit to 24-9.

However, in the third quarter, Dak Prescott found wide receiver Ryan Flournoy with a two-yard touchdown. Raiders quarterback Geno Smith scored his first touchdown of the night in the fourth quarter when he found WR Tre Tucker with a six-yard passing touchdown.
