One of the biggest questions for the Dallas Cowboys entering the 2022 campaign is Ezekiel Elliott. Rookie receiver Jalen Tolbert could see a lot of passes thrown his way, and tight end Dalton Schultz could have a big day too. Additionally, Gallup has been ruled out for Week 1 by Mike McCarthy, so a lot of attention will be paid to Lamb. The Cowboys still have two quality receivers in CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, but neither player is the underneath receiver that Cooper was for this team. The loss of Amari Cooper in the offseason could hurt Dallas too. That puts a lot of pressure on the rookie. Dallas drafted Tyler Smith out of Tulsa in the first round of this year’s draft to be the right tackle, but he will now be slotted into the left tackle spot to cover Prescott’s blind side.

That’s not good news since standout left tackle Tyron Smith was ruled out until at least December with a knee injury. He struggled in the postseason though and was sacked five times by San Francisco’s defense, as he is not as mobile as he was in his younger days. Prescott was one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks last year, completing 68.8% of his passes for 4,449 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Dallas is hoping to change the script and upend Tampa Bay this time, but the Cowboys are a small underdog at home.ĭak Prescott will lead the Cowboys into this Sunday night clash. Dak Prescott and Tom Brady traded blows in a back-and-forth game, but the Buccaneers eventually prevailed thanks to a last-second field goal from Ryan Succop. The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers met in the 2021 season opener. This game will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas at 8:20 p.m.

The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will meet under the primetime lights for Sunday Night Football on September 11, 2022. They are considered the division champion most likely to not make the playoffs in 2022, and they could easily start the season 0-2 with games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals. Dallas was able to win the NFC East last season, yet the Cowboys were eliminated in the first round. Jerry Jones might call his franchise ‘America’s Team’, but they have been more like the New York Knicks than the New York Yankees over the last quarter-century with scant success to match the hype. It’s been 27 years since the Dallas Cowboys made it to the NFC Conference Championship.
