The Tampa Bay Buccaneers walked into AT&T Stadium on Thursday, October 8, as 9.5-point underdogs and walked out with a 24–16 win over the Dallas Cowboys that shook up the early NFC picture. In this segment from Pro Football Talk on the NFL on NBC YouTube channel, Mike Florio and Michael Holley break down how Tampa Bay pulled off the upset.
The crew focuses on rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, who steered a physical Buccaneers offense to a commanding 39:21–20:39 edge in time of possession against a Dallas defense that never found answers. Running back Bucky Irving also made personal history, scoring both a rushing and a receiving touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career, as Tampa Bay built a lead the Cowboys could not erase on a late fourth-quarter drive.
Posted October 9 by the official NFL on NBC channel, the recap runs through the key moments and what the result means for both teams as Week 6 unfolds. Watch the full breakdown below, courtesy of NFL on NBC.
