The Dallas Cowboys are back in action quickly this week as they are getting set to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. Below you will find our story stream for the game where all relevant articles will cycle through.
Dallas is coming off of a huge win on the road against the Houston Texans, and it was sorely needed as they narrowly lost to the Baltimore Ravens the week before down in Brazil. The unique weeks of travel mean that the Cowboys are going to play a game at AT&T Stadium for the first time in three weeks, and it will be three more until they do so again. This week marks the only Cowboys game the building will host in the month of October.
Early odds suggest the Cowboys should handle the Buccaneers as Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield will miss the game due to injury. Jalon Daniels, an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback, made his first career start on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, he was the first rookie quarterback to start a game this season, and he will make his first road start in this game.
Dak Prescott is obviously no rookie and neither are CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Quinnen Williams, or Joey Porter Jr., but all of them will be essential if the Cowboys want to put together their first winning streak of 2026.
Don’t blink. This week is going to go by fast.
