The Dallas Cowboys achieved a thrilling upset victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning 26-24 at AT&T Stadium. Key defensive plays from cornerbacks Jourdan Lewis and DaRon Bland in the fourth quarter were crucial, with Lewis intercepting a pass and Bland forcing a fumble that sealed the game.

Despite playoff elimination, the Cowboys showcased resilience and strong teamwork. Rookie Marist Liufau stepped up in the absence of injured linebacker Eric Kendricks, while kicker Brandon Aubrey set a new NFL record for field goals over 50 yards in a season.
