Post Malone took a deeply emotional moment during his halftime performance at the Dallas Cowboys vs. Kansas City Chiefs Thanksgiving game to honor the late Marshawn Kneeland.
The singer, a devoted Cowboys supporter, paused his set to address the crowd directly. “We love you, 94.
We love you,” Malone shouted, referencing Kneeland’s jersey number.
To make the tribute even more personal, Malone wore a large 94 pin on his jacket throughout the show, a subtle yet powerful nod to the young star.
The Tragic Death of a Young NFL Talent
Kneeland, 24, tragically ended his own life earlier this month in Plano, Texas.
The defensive end had been involved in a dramatic police pursuit after failing to stop for a traffic violation in nearby Frisco on November 6.
The chase ended when Kneeland crashed his black Dodge Charger and fled on foot.
Hours later, after an intense and at times chaotic search by Texas Department of Public Safety officers, his body was discovered inside a porta-potty.
Authorities later revealed that Kneeland had sent a final group text to his family, simply saying “goodbye,” during the incident.
Girlfriend Raises Alarm Before the Tragedy
Kneeland’s girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, who is pregnant with his child, reportedly informed police that he was armed and expressed fear that he might harm himself.
Her warning highlighted the intensity and danger of the situation, adding a personal and heartbreaking dimension to the police response.
Harrowing Bodycam Footage Emerges
Just a day before Malone’s performance, police bodycam footage from the moment Kneeland’s body was found surfaced, capturing the grim reality of the discovery.
In the video obtained by the Daily Mail, an officer can be heard describing the scene as “lurid,” reflecting the traumatic and shocking nature of the event.
A Tribute That Resonates Beyond the Stadium
Malone’s gesture at AT&T Stadium was more than a nod to a fellow fan or athlete — it was a public acknowledgment of the heartbreak and tragedy surrounding Kneeland’s death.
Fans in the stadium, and those watching at home, were reminded of the human cost behind headlines and statistics.
By combining his music with a message of remembrance, Malone helped ensure that Kneeland’s memory, and the impact he had on those around him, would not be forgotten.
