The Dallas Cowboys | FINAL: Buccaneers 31, Cowboys 29 Thoughts

FINAL: Buccaneers 31, Cowboys 29 How about that for a season opener? Dak Prescott was in top form in his return from injury, throwing for 403 yards and three touchdowns on 42-of-48 passing. But Tom Brady and the defending champion Buccaneers had a bit more in the end, securing the win to launch their Super Bowl title defense. Clearly a very good showing for a Cowboys team that was trying to establish its credentials as a contender, but this is the kind of moral victory that Dallas has too often had to settle for in recent years. Brady, meanwhile, was his masterful self as he threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns.
