In a thrilling matchup, the Dallas Cowboys edged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-24, thanks to key defensive plays and strategic execution. All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland made a crucial strip on Rachaad White, allowing the Cowboys to regain possession late in the game.

Baker Mayfield's performance was notable, throwing for a touchdown but also facing pressure from the Cowboys' defense, including an interception by Jourdan Lewis. Despite a valiant effort from the Buccaneers, including a touchdown pass to Ryan Miller, they fell short as time expired.
