Cowboys score on first two possessions to take 10-0 lead

Date:

The cheers in Atlanta can be heard at AT&T Stadium.

With the Falcons rooting hard for the Cowboys tonight, Dallas has taken a 10-0 lead on Tampa Bay.

The Cowboys opened the game with a 10-play, 30-yard drive that Brandon Aubrey capped with a 58-yard field goal.

The Bucs then stopped the Bucs on their first possession, with a wide-open Sterling Shepard dropping a Baker Mayfield pass that hit him in the hands. The fourth-and-3 play came from the Dallas 48.

Five plays later, the Cowboys were in the end zone.

Cooper Rush threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 2:49 left in the first quarter.

The Bucs have a one-game lead on the Falcons for the lead in the NFC South, but the Falcons own the tiebreaker as a result of a sweep of Tampa Bay. So, if the teams tie for the division title, the Falcons win it.

Atlanta beat the Giants 34-7 in rookie quarterback Michael Penix’s starting debut.

The Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the day.
