The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are still searching for their first win of the 2026 NFL season, and their next opportunity comes on the road against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
Tampa Bay enters Week 5 with a 0-4 record following a 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers, while Dallas improved to 2-2 after defeating the Houston Texans 34-30. Both teams have struggled on both sides of the ball, making Thursday's matchup an interesting opportunity for the Buccaneers to finally get a win in the column.
Undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels will make his second NFL start in place of Baker Mayfield, who remains sidelined with a right thumb injury. Daniels showed some promise with his mobility and poise against Green Bay, but the Buccaneers
need more consistency from their offense if they hope to leave Dallas with a victory.
