Thursday Night Football: discussion of Bucs vs. Cowboys

Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season begins with a matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4) on the road against the Dallas Cowboys (2-2).

The Cowboys lead the all-time series between these teams, 14-6, but the Buccaneers have won two of their last three meetings. In the last game they faced, however, the Cowboys won at home in Dallas, 26-24.

There are several former Eagles on the field tonight, including RB Kenny Gainwell, who signed with the Bucs in the offseason, but hasn’t been a featured player in their offense — compared to the career-high season he had last year in Pittsburgh.
