Thursday Night Football: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys

Week 5 of the 2026 season kicks off with an NFC battle between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys. The Bucs haven't won a game this season and are on their way to a top 3 pick in next year's draft after finally giving Baker Mayfield his contract extension…and immediately regretting it. The Cowboys ate 2-2 and tied for second place in the NFC East with the Eagles. Go Bucs!

Matchup: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4) vs Dallas Cowboys (2-2)

Date/Time: Thursday, October 8th | 8:20 p.m. ET
