Buccaneers Beat Cowboys 24-16 in Dallas

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Dallas Cowboys 24-16 in Dallas, earning their first win of the season. Undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels started for Tampa Bay in place of the injured Baker Mayfield, and the Buccaneers ran for 241 yards and scored 17 unanswered points in the third quarter. Dallas’ late chance to tie ended when Dak Prescott’s pass bounced off tight end Jake Ferguson and was intercepted. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones left his suite before the final whistle and called the loss extraordinarily disappointing, while crediting Tampa Bay for winning across most phases. The defeat raised further questions about Dallas’ defense, which Jones had recently defended amid concerns about cornerback DaRon Bland.
