Post Malone<\/a> used his halftime spot at the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Thanksgiving home game Thursday night (Nov. 27) to pay tribute to Marshawn Kneeland, the late Cowboys defensive end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love you, 94,\u201d Posty said near the end of his three-song medley at Arlington\u2019s AT&T Stadium, referencing the number Kneeland wore during his two seasons with the\u00a0Cowboys. \u201cWe love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cRockstar\u201d singer also sported a No. 94 pin on his blue and white satin jacket for the Cowboys\u2019 duel with Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Kneeland died by a gunshot to the head earlier this month,\u00a0at the age of just 24. His death is being investigated as a suicide.<\/p>\n

A product of Western Michigan Broncos, the footballer earned second-team Mid-American Conference (MAC) honors in 2023, and, the following year, was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the NFL draft.<\/p>\n

For Posty, the high-profile gig was a triumphant homecoming. The celebrated hip-hop artist (real name: Austin Post) was raised in Grapevine, Texas, and his dad, Rich Post, was assistant director of food and beverage at the stadium from 2005 to 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been\u00a0watching this halftime show<\/a>\u00a0for years,\u201d Malone commented in a statement published on the Cowboys\u2019 official site. \u201cIt\u2019s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the big show, Posty powered through \u201cWrong Ones,\u201d \u201cWow\u201d and \u201cI Had Some Help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malone\u2019s Thanksgiving thank-you might\u2019ve done enough to lifted his beloved franchise, as the Cowboys ran out winners 31-28.<\/p>\n

Post doesn\u2019t pass on the opportunity to perform under the bright lights of the NFL. His previous football gigs include the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans\u2019 Christmas Day show last year; he performed before the 2024 Super Bowl when he sang \u201cAmerica the Beautiful,\u201d and earlier in the year he headlined the Super Bowl 59 YouTube tailgate concert.<\/p>\n
