The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-24 on Sunday Night Football, but were eliminated from playoff contention as Washington won earlier in the day. Despite this, the Cowboys showed no letdown and played a strong game. The Buccaneers lost the lead in the final minutes of the game due to a crucial fumble forced by DaRon Bland. Tampa Bay’s loss drops their playoff odds to 67% with two games left. Both teams faced significant stakes in the game, with Dallas playing to evaluate coach Mike McCarthy and Tampa Bay aiming to secure a playoff spot. In other games, the Washington Commanders came back to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, the Buffalo Bills overcame a 14-point deficit to beat the New England Patriots, and the Indianapolis Colts’ Jonathan Taylor had a standout performance rushing for 218 yards and three touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. These results had implications for the playoff race in the NFC and AFC, impacting teams’ chances of securing division titles and playoff spots.
