Dallas Cowboys
Tampa Bay BuccaneersIn a pivotal Week 16 matchup on December 22, 2024, the Dallas Cowboys edged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 26-24 victory at AT&T Stadium. This win marked the Cowboys' fourth in their last five games, showcasing their resilience despite being out of playoff contention.
The game's decisive moment occurred with just over a minute remaining. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield connected with running back Rachaad White, who then fumbled the ball. Cowboys' cornerback DaRon Bland recovered the fumble, effectively sealing the victory for Dallas.
This loss has significant implications for the Buccaneers' postseason aspirations. Now standing at 8-7, they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South. However, the Falcons hold the tiebreaker advantage, pushing Tampa Bay out of the current playoff picture as the No. 8 seed.
Despite the setback, the Buccaneers have opportunities to regain control of their playoff destiny with upcoming games against the Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints. Victories in these matchups are crucial for Tampa Bay to secure a postseason berth.
