Bucs Take Down Cowboys, 24-16, in Thursday Night Showdown at AT&T Stadium
Jerry Jones said Dallas will keep looking for defensive help after the Cowboys allowed 416 yards in a 24-16 loss.
- On Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 24-16 at AT&T Stadium, with undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels earning his first career win in his second start.
- The Cowboys' defense surrendered 419 total yards, including 241 rushing yards to Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving on 21 carries, exposing a systemic inability to stop the run.
- Quarterback Dak Prescott finished 24 of 42 for 316 yards with two interceptions; a viral video later captured him confronting a car service driver in the tunnel who called the loss 'embarrassing.'
- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called the result 'extraordinarily, extraordinarily disappointing,' yet labeled immediate coaching changes 'premature' despite mounting pressure on defensive coordinator Christian Parker and head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
- The 2-3 Cowboys face consecutive primetime road games against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 18 and the Philadelphia Eagles, with playoff viability hinging on defensive improvement.
