  • #88 in Dallas does the #88 in Dallas justice

    CeeDee Lamb, a playmaker of his time. After the two-minute warning, Dallas was back in scoring position.

  • Dallas ends Tampa Bay’s march with just over five minutes left in the first half

    The Dallas defense surrendered against the Bucs for most of the first half. Tampa may have the only score, but otherwise it was a tough ride for Baker Mayfield, a company.

  • Dallas drive stalls – in perfect position for another Brandon Aubrey field goal

    This was an easy chip shot, just 49 yards 🙄, for his 34th field goal of the season. He doesn’t lead the NFL in percentage, but of those 34 players, 25 are from more than 40 yards in 2025 (he’s 25 of 29).

    The Cowboys lead 13-7

  • It looks like the haymakers are starting to fly. 34 yards to CeeDee Lamb on first down

    Lamb now has four catches and 38 yards after his first big catch of the night.

  • Ah, there’s the Buccaneers’ offense

    Six plays, 57 yards in 3:15.

    THAT looked like one of the NFL’s best offenses and Bucky Irving closed the deal for the Bucs with a two-yard TD rush, his seventh on the ground this season. Dallas still leads 10-7 with 11:30 left in the first half.

  • Mike Evans is in the conversation about the top receivers of this century

    He’s 31, started his career with 10 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and is still doing so.

  • End of first quarter: Dallas 10, Tampa Bay 0

    Dallas looked great in the first quarter and Tampa Bay’s offense couldn’t get out of first gear. The Buccaneers scored 40 points in a blowout win over the Chargers last week, but have just 41 yards and a first down in the first quarter tonight in Dallas. Plus, the Cowboys have the ball and are looking for a three-point lead early in the second quarter.

  • Cooper Rush hits Jalen Tolbert for the Dallas touchdown

    That was an absolute rush point, and the Cowboys are up 10-0 early after capitalizing on turnovers on downs.

  • The Bucs turn it over on downs on the first series

    A drop from Sterling Shepard ended a steady drive through midfield. It was an ice cold drop and it was COMPLETELY open. Dallas has to be happy with the result, but how they got there needs to be adjusted defensively. If Tampa Bay’s receivers are this open all night, it could be a long stretch for the Cowboys’ defense.

    Despite the decline, Shepard may have started the game with one of the best SNF intros of all time.

  • Cooper Rush is off to a hot start as the Cowboys take a 3-0 lead

    The Cowboys QB hit his first six passes to get Dallas moving early against Tampa Bay, and Brandon Aubrey capped the drive with a 58-yard field goal. He is now 12 of 14 from beyond 50 yards this season.

  • The offensive stars are on the road in Dallas this evening

    The Bucs rank third in the NFL in yards per game, and Dallas has struggled badly on defense at home this season, winning just once in seven home games.

  • Dak Prescott is still taking on a leadership role despite his season-ending injury

  • Cowboys inactive
