CBS Sports • • general

Key Points:

  • The Dallas Cowboys suffered a surprising 24-16 home loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, highlighting struggles in all three phases of the game and raising questions about coaching under Brian Schottenheimer, whose team started the season 2-3.
  • Tampa Bay's dominant 17-point third quarter, led by undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels and running back Bucky Irving's first 100-yard game in two years, exposed Dallas' defensive weaknesses and offensive turnovers, including two from Dak Prescott.
  • Schottenheimer acknowledged the poor performance and indicated a thorough evaluation of the coaching staff and team strategy, calling the loss a "missed opportunity" and expressing disappointment after 12 losses in his first 22 games as head coach.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones criticized the team's lack of physicality at the line of scrimmage and ineffective rushing attack, noting the Buccaneers' unexpected success running between the tackles and describing the defeat as "extraordinarily disappointing."
  • Despite Tampa Bay's 0-4 record and offensive struggles due to Baker Mayfield's injury, they secured a significant upset, while Jones emphasized the need for growth and better experiences for both individual players and the team moving forward.
