What to expect from Tampa Bay vs. Dallas on Sunday Night Football
This has not been the Cowboys' year, especially at home. Their overall record is 6-8, but their record in AT&T Stadium is 1-6, and they spent the first several weeks of the season with a very odd home losing streak on their backs. That streak has since been broken, but new problems have arisen, particularly the season-ending injury of quarterback Dak Prescott. What was supposed to be the franchise year for the offensive leader, who signed a massive new contract to kick off the season, has instead turned into a kind of regrouping season, as they Cowboys hope to mitigate damage and, in a division dominated by the Eagles and the Commanders, look to do better next year.

Then there are the Bucs, who are leading the NFC South with an 8-6 record that, while not at the top of the conference, should be good enough to land them in the playoffs at season's end, if they keep their winning ways alive. They've won four in a row, including a statement win over the Chargers in Week 15, and quarterback Baker Mayfield is having another very solid season at the helm of this offense. They're certainly not the best team in a stacked NFC this season, but they've got a shot at doing something big if they can just hold on through the final weeks of the season. In Dallas, they've got a very good chance to keep the momentum going.
