Dallas is coming off a convincing win against the Panthers in Carolina on Sunday. At 6-8 the Cowboys don’t have much to play for but are still a team that can creep up and make a game competitive even without quarterback Dak Prescott.
For the Bucs, their statement win in Los Angeles turned many into believers that initially penned them for a loss out in the west coast.
The game between the Bucs and Cowboys is scheduled for next Sunday with kickoff at 8:20 PM ET.
