The Dallas Cowboys will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Week 5 Thursday Night Football game at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on October 8.

The Buccaneers enter the game seeking their first win of the 2026 season, having lost all four of their previous matchups by seven points or less. Their challenges have been compounded by a thumb injury to quarterback Baker Mayfield, leading to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels starting under center. Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged the team faces a "tough challenge from a talent standpoint" against Dallas.

Dallas, currently 2-2, aims for a victory to move above .500 before facing challenging opponents in subsequent weeks. Oddsmakers favor the Cowboys significantly, with a projected 9.5 to 10-point advantage.
