Overview
- The Buccaneers beat the Dallas Cowboys 24–16 on Thursday at AT&T Stadium, snapping a four-game losing streak with a late defensive play.
- Rookie Jalon Daniels started for an injured Baker Mayfield and managed the offense, throwing for 189 yards and one touchdown in his second NFL start.
- Tampa Bay took control in the third quarter on scoring runs and a touchdown catch by Bucky Irving, who finished the night with 175 yards from scrimmage and two TDs.
- A 61-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin was initially good but nullified for delay of game before halftime, and Alex Anzalone's interception with 76 seconds left sealed the upset.
- The result lifts Tampa's outlook but leaves questions about roster depth as the team remains low in the NFC South and Dallas copes with the loss of receiver CeeDee Lamb during the game.
