It’s already Week 5, and the slate of games kicks off with a Thursday night matchup between two teams perhaps headed in very different directions.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of five winless teams—and the only one in the NFC. The seat is getting warmer for Todd Bowles in his fifth season with the team. He’s posted just a 35-37 record as head coach of the Buccaneers, and has never posted more than 10 wins in a season.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are just a modest 2-2 record through four games, but it’s
been a good week for them. They started with big trade for Joey Porter Jr. Followed it up with a big late win over the Houston Texans. And you better believe they’re enjoying the Philadelphia Eagles’ downfall this week.
