Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 04:48 · Archive

Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns as the Buccaneers defeated Dallas 24-16.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 24-16 on Thursday night for their first win of the season. Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving rushed for a career-high 165 yards on 21 carries, averaging 7.9 yards per attempt. He scored on a 5-yard pass reception and a 1-yard run, and had a notable 72-yard run that set up the go-ahead touchdown.

Rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, in his second start, directed a turnover-free offense for Tampa Bay, completing 19 of 25 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. Daniels is filling in for Baker Mayfield, who is sidelined with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand and is expected to miss at least one more game.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott led a 99-yard drive and threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens in the fourth quarter. However, Prescott's second interception, off a tipped pass, helped Tampa Bay clinch the victory in the final two minutes. The loss left the Cowboys with a 2-3 record as they continued an inconsistent start to the season.
