Week 5 starts in Dallas. Thursday Night Football brings Buccaneers at Cowboys. Dallas enters 2-2 and is coming off a 34-30 road win over Houston, while Tampa Bay is still searching for its first win at 0-4 after a 17-14 loss in Green Bay.

Tampa Bay is desperate to avoid an 0-5 start, while the Cowboys have a chance to move above .500 before a tough stretch that includes Green Bay and Philadelphia. Buccaneers-Cowboys. Thursday night. Dak and CeeDee against a Tampa Bay team with its season already starting to slip away. Week 5 starts under the lights in Dallas.
