Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Dallas Cowboys 06

Dallas and Tampa Bay were limited to field goals for the first 59 minutes of the game in Raymond James Stadium.

Trailing 6-3 with just over one minute left, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston scrambled for a 4-yard run to the endzone, but lost the ball as he was up-ended just short of the goal line. Dallas recovered the fumble, but was penalized for defensive holding by Jeff Heath. On the next play, Winston ran a naked bootleg for a 1-yard touchdown and a 10-6 Tampa Bay lead with 59 seconds remaining in regulation. With 28 seconds left, Matt Cassel's pass intended for Dez Bryant was intercepted by Bradley McDougald in the endzone to secure the victory. Bryant lobbied for pass interference due to contact by McDougald, but it was not called.

This was the Buccaneers first victory against the Cowboys since 2003, and Dallas's 7th straight loss (all without Tony Romo).
