Overview
- The Week 5 Thursday Night Football game is scheduled for AT&T Stadium in Arlington with an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on Thursday, Oct. 8 and will stream exclusively on Prime Video with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit calling the game.
- Tampa Bay enters the game 0-4 after a 17-14 loss in which undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels made his NFL debut, and reporting has raised questions about coach Todd Bowles’s future.
- Dallas comes in on the back of a come-from-behind win over the Texans and an offense led by Dak Prescott and receiver CeeDee Lamb, who has posted three straight 100-yard games and a standout 17-catch performance.
- Viewers must use Amazon Prime Video to watch the national broadcast and new users can access the game through an Amazon Prime trial, while local markets may offer separate telecasts.
- The game illustrates two threads shaping the early season: on-field urgency for a struggling Buccaneers team and the broader media shift as the NFL places high-profile primetime matchups on streaming services.
