The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 19-3 on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. After giving up an opening drive field goal to the Cowboys, the Buc defense stiffened considerably, not allowing another point the rest of the game. The offense moved the ball consistently from the outset, scoring on 4 of their first 5 drives. Unfortunately, those scores were field goals, not touchdowns, which allowed the game to remain closer than it should have been. All in all, it was a successful beginning to the 2022 NFL season for the Bucs in all three phases of the football game.
