Cowboys struggle in loss to Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium
Summary

Quarterback Dak Prescott had a poor performance with two interceptions, and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was limited to just two catches. The Cowboys' defense struggled against a winless Tampa Bay team, remaining on the field for over 39 minutes without forcing a turnover.
