NFL Week 16: Dallas Cowboys Host The Tampa Bay Buccaneers On SNF

FRISCO, TEXAS — The Dallas Cowboys (10-2 all-time vs. Tampa Bay at home) host the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football in a game with slim playoff hopes on the line. Their .833 win rate at home against Tampa Bay, dating back to 1977, marks the best record Dallas has against any NFC opponent.

Despite the strong historical record, the Cowboys face a steep climb. ESPN’s power index gives Dallas less than a 1% chance to make the playoffs—the worst odds among teams not yet eliminated.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the importance of controlling what they can: “We have to put ourselves in a position to get help.”

With over 280 trillion potential outcomes to the regular season, the Cowboys need both a win and external help to keep their faint postseason hopes alive.

Kickoff is at 7:20 PM CT
