The Buccaneers played an ugly, winning game against the Dallas Cowboys. There have been, and probably will be, many games in which Brady carries the team to a win. On Sunday night, the running game and defense led the way in the 19-3 victory. All wins count the same.
The biggest news came after the game when Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced Dak Prescott needs surgery on his (right) throwing hand and will miss several weeks. Prescott was injured in the fourth quarter after being hit on the hand.
With 3:23 left in the third quarter, Evans caught back-to-back passes from Brady including a one-handed grab on a fade route against Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs for a touchdown. That gave the Buccaneers a 19-3 lead and that seemed insurmountable for the Cowboys, given how their offense had looked.
It was a career year for Dak Prescott last year. What’s in store in 2022?

#Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott looks trim and muscular. He had only 13 rushes vs #Bucs Week 1 last season. When I asked Dak Prescott about approach tonight, he said, “We’re going to run the ball. Forget their box counts if they want to load it. We’ve got runs for that.” pic.twitter.com/lr3K0l0idL
