How would Dak Prescott handle the pressure after a loss to the New York Giants? He was 32 of 36 for 279 passing yards along with 20 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, in a 26 to 20 Dallas Cowboys victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the game tied at 3 in the second-quarter, Ezekiel Elliott scored on a 2-yard touchdown run. Elliott finished with 159 yards rushing and 1 touchdown, along with 3 catches for 29 yards receiving. Later in the period, Prescott scored on a 2-yard touchdown run.
With the Buccaneers trailing 17 to 6 in the third-quarter, the Buccaneers scored two touchdowns on a Jameis Winston 42-yard pass to Adam Humphries and a Winston 10-yard pass to Cameron Brate. Winston finished with 247 yards passing 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Brate finished with 5 catches for 73 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
Dallas would score on 3 Dan Bailey field goals for the rest of the game. Dan Bailey made 4 field goals out of 6. He made them from 40, 38,33 and 27 yards. He missed from 56 and 52 yards.
In the fourth quarter late in the game, Tampa Bay had one final chance, but Winston was intercepted. Dallas will host the Detroit Lions (9-5) next Monday Night. With a Dallas win next week, they will claim the NFC East and number 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs.
