Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game will also serve as the official start of the 2021 NFL season. The matchup features the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers who will play host to the Dallas Cowboys in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium. The Cowboys enter the game having come off one of their most disappointing seasons in recent memory. Many NFL “experts” had the Cowboys picked as the NFC’s entrant to the Super Bowl before last season began but bad luck and a ton of injuries left Dallas sitting home watching Tom Brady add to his impressive collection of Super Bowl wins.
