Description

The Buccaneers squeaked out a victory against the Dallas Cowboys. We underestimated the Cowboys; their game plan was superb and well-executed. But the Buccaneers persevered thanks to Tom Brady, the receivers and the Bucs pass rush. Vita Vea made his presence known.

Sean Murphy-Bunting sustained a gruesome injury. Bruce Arians said it was just a dislocation and is optimistic SMB will be back.

Special teams may have been the highlight of the game. Punter Bradley Pinion pinned the Cowboys inside their 10-yardline three times. Then Jaydon Mickens had a phenomenal performance as returned.

The game was much closer than I anticipated but was an entertaining way to open the season.
