Veteran defensive tackle Dontari Poe has been one of the more vocal players on the Cowboys' roster about social injustice and said he was still deciding whether to kneel during the national anthem when he was asked by the media last month.

As it turned out, Poe was the only Cowboys player who chose to kneel Sunday night, stating this was his decision and his way of protesting.

After the game, Poe was asked what kneeling means to him personally.

"It's just bringing more awareness to what's going on in this world - to the racial injustices that's going on," Poe said.

I do want to start it by doing the simple things such as kneeling to let people know that I feel this way."

As for the game itself, Poe said the Cowboys just didn't make enough plays when it counted the most.
