The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are poised for a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 following their bye week. The Cowboys, already facing difficulties this season, will be without their quarterback Dak Prescott, who is set to undergo surgery on his hamstring injury and will miss the remainder of the season.

With Prescott sidelined, the Cowboys will need to choose between Cooper Rush and Trey Lance as their starting quarterback. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers, under coach Todd Bowles, are preparing for this key game, having showcased versatility in their quarterback lineup this season.
