DALLAS, TX (SNN-TV) – Almost exactly a year ago the Dallas Cowboys came to Tampa for the NFL’s Kickoff Game featuring the defending Super Bowl champions on their home turf. That prime-time battle was billed as a clash of two potentially explosive offenses, and the same can be said this go-round.
After the Buccaneers won a wild shootout, 31-29, over the Cowboys capped by a vintage Tom Brady game-winning drive, Dallas went on to lead the league in scoring and total yards. The Buccaneers were second in those two categories and first in passing yards.
While Brady and Dak Prescott and their respective crews will likely still be the most prominent storyline this weekend, it is quite possible that both teams will be led by their defenses during the 2022 season.
Both teams are left with unfinished business this season. One will get a big boost towards finishing that business with a win on Sunday Night Football in prime-time, with kickoff set for 8:20pm.
