The Dallas Cowboys knew they had been eliminated from the playoffs before they even kicked off. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were trying to stay on top of the NFC South and had everything to play for, but the Cowboys came out early and took control of the game. With their offensive performance led by Cooper Rush and CeeDee Lamb, Dallas got ahead by two scores on the first two drives and took that lead into the half.
The defense took over in the second half, keeping the Buccaneers from making a comeback on the final drive to steal the victory from Dallas. Tampa Bay had six second-half possessions, and the Cowboys forced two turnovers and two punts while only allowing a high-powered Buccaneers offense to score 10 points. This was a complete victory for a team so injured it could’ve thrown in the towel weeks ago. Dallas had plenty of stud performances to choose from, with its offensive production in the first half and its big defensive plays in the second. There were enough bad performances to clean up though, so it doesn’t cost them a win in the final two contests.
