Tampa Bay Buccaneers upset Dallas Cowboys in Week 5

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a significant upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys, winning 24-16 at AT&T Stadium. The win marks Tampa Bay's first victory of the season, led by undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, who made his second career start in place of the injured Baker Mayfield.

The loss drops the Cowboys to a 2-3 record, marking one of their worst starts through five games since 2020. The defeat has intensified scrutiny regarding the team's coaching staff, specifically offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and has drawn public frustration from owner Jerry Jones.

In the NFC East, the New York Giants currently lead the division with a 3-1 record despite facing injuries to quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo. Skattebo has indicated he remains ready to play despite recent muscle tightness. Meanwhile, the league enters Week 5 with several notable injury updates, including the Baltimore Ravens ruling out Lamar Jackson for their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
