Dallas Cowboys take away positives from Week 1 loss but 'left some plays out there'

TAMPA, Fla. -- There was the typical disappointment from a loss as Thursday night turned to Friday morning after the Dallas Cowboys dropped a 31-29 heartbreaker to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

  • Disappointment at missing a chance to win on a night the Buccaneers celebrated their 2020 Super Bowl title.

  • Disappointment at wasting Dak Prescott's 403 yards passing and Amari Cooper's 139 yards receiving.

  • Disappointment from wasting four takeaways by the Dallas defense.

On Friday, the disappointment grew when it was learned right tackle La'el Collins would miss the next five games because of a suspension and wide receiver Michael Gallup could miss up to five weeks with a calf strain suffered in the second half of the loss.
