Baker Mayfield Leads Buccaneers Against Cowboys

Baker Mayfield, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' star quarterback, is set to lead his team against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, aiming to solidify their position atop the NFC South. Mayfield, who recently returned from a knee issue to practice fully, has been instrumental in the Buccaneers' four-game winning streak and has thrown for over 3,600 yards this season. The Cowboys, currently at 6-8 and facing playoff elimination after losing Dak Prescott, are struggling with injuries in their secondary, which could pose challenges against Mayfield's high-powered offense. This matchup is particularly significant for Mayfield, a Texas native, who has fond memories of playing in the state, including a previous victory at the same venue. Coach Todd Bowles emphasized the need for the team to remain grounded despite their recent success, as they prepare for what could be a pivotal game for both teams. The game kicks off on Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, with significant playoff implications at stake for the Buccaneers and a last chance for the Cowboys to salvage their season.
