The Tampa Bay Buccaneers earn their first win of the season, defeating the Dallas Cowboys 24-16 on Thursday night. Bucky Irving rushes for a career-high 165 yards and scores two touchdowns, including a 72-yard run that helps set up the go-ahead score. Tampa Bay’s offense runs effectively throughout, compiling 241 rushing yards in the road win.
Rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels plays a key role for the Buccaneers in his second NFL start. Reports describe him as turnover-free while directing a productive passing attack; he throws for 189 yards and connects with Irving for a touchdown in the first half. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott throws two interceptions, and multiple sources cite Cowboys miscues contributing to the outcome. Overall coverage frames the result as an upset in which Tampa Bay’s second-half execution and rushing production turn the game.
