What is it with the Cowboys this year? Are they getting better late in the season? Dallas didn't steal a win against Tampa. They looked like the better team. A Tampa team that just crushed the Chargers the previous week. Rush looked pretty good too.

Who popped Evans and jarred the ball loose? Was that Lewis? I haven't seen a hit like that in a while. Players are afraid to do that now for fear of fines. You have to watch games from the 80s and 90s to see hits like that.

That’s an elite run defense. Wish we were that tough up front.

Did anyone else feel like the buccaneers were dirty? it looked like every tackle was to our players head and neck being twisted

It was a shocking win considering we had to rely on Cooper Rush's arm and a porous defense missing a lot of starters. Cooper was on fire completing 26 of 35 for 291. Who saw that coming? Him and Bland get the game balls.

I don't know about dirty but they were laying the wood. Our guys matched the intensity though with some big hits of their own.

You can win a lot of games when you play great defense and you come up with timely turnovers. You would’ve thought a championship was on the line the way we were hitting people last night. I’m talking bone crushing hits. Where was that earlier in the season?

Great game for Lewis. But, Bland pretty much took Mike Evans out of the game and then ripping the ball out of the receivers hand at the end won the game. He was the MVP of the defense. Donovan Wilson also had a nice game.

I think that started happening after Dallas started laying the wood to those WRs in the secondary. Dallas was really getting after Baker at the end and slammed him down and stripped the ball from him.
