Dallas rallies past Tampa Bay, 26-20, snapping Bucs winning streak
The Cowboys didn’t invent quarterback controversies, but the argument could be that the franchise perfected the art of pitting signal-callers against each other in the press and among the fandom.
And the Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the game against the red hot Dallas Cowboys as 7-point underdogs according to National Football League oddsmakers at Bovada.
Follow along as we bring you live updates and analysis from the game from kickoff through the final whistle in the comments section below. There’s no reason for him to force the ball downfield and take chances when Ezekiel Elliott is ripping through a defense for 159 yards rushing like he did to the Bucs. At quarterback, Dak Prescott leads all rookies with his 20 touchdown passes and 102.7 passer rating, with a 100 rating or better in 10 of 13 starts. Prescott’s performance wouldn’t just determine the outcome of a game.
The Dallas Cowboys, and their fans, are hungry and anxious to leave the Week 14 loss to the New York Giants in the past. A win next week and the Cowboys will get the NFC East.
Prescott will get credit for his fifth fourth-quarter comeback. First by holding the Cowboys to a field goal and a 23-20 lead, and then by forcing a fumble and recovering the ball to give the Bucs offense another chance.
With 100 receiving yards on Sunday against Tennessee, Kelce would become the only tight end in National Football League history with five consecutive games with 100 or more receiving yards.
In response to the short field, the Bucs were able to heave a Hail Mary, but it was instead intercepted by Jones, giving him his first interception of his career.
“What am I looking over my shoulder for?” he said. “I really just don’t pay attention to it”. I kind of found some later in the week. I just wanted to come back and perform after the game I played last week. “He said, she said doesn’t affect me”.
It drew an excessive celebration flag from the officials, but it went viral on the internet.
“You can make it as simple or as complex as you want to make it”, Garrett told reporters at his weekly press conference. As I wrote yesterday, Eli Manning was almost as bad, though, and maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves with the Romo hype.
Good things happen when the Cowboys give the ball to Elliott. Dallas has scored just 24 points in those two games.
The Prescott-led Cowboys had 449 yards of total offense against the league’s best defense in the past month, and they withstood two long misses by Dan Bailey to still win by six.
After last week’s 10-7 loss to the Giants, there were, predictably, calls for Tony Romo to get his job back, just as Peyton Manning did late last season with the Broncos. He rushed passes, collected hits, tipped passes, and made sacks. Sean Lee and the Dallas defense will also have their hands full trying to contain the Tampa rushing attack that features the three-headed monster of Doug Martin Jaquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys managed to run all over the Bucs defense, and Dak Prescott could dink and dunk his way to victory.
Well, until 6:55 remained and he responded with a 42-yard run. For better or worse – and, given how he played and the preference of having a solidified quarterback situation, it’s for the better – this is Prescott’s team.
Okay, so all of us got it wrong except Ryan last week, but after 11 straight, it’s hard to blame anybody for getting a little carried away. Garrett isn’t saying whether he’ll make the game-day roster, or what role he will have if he does. Benson Mayowa is starting to heat up at the right time and the defensive tackles have been playing at a very high level as well.
“You lose one game and now you’re not the same team anymore?”
“Our guys are mentally tough”.
