For the second straight season, the Buccaneers have spoiled the Cowboys' opener in prime time. Despite losing a pair of key starters to injury, Tampa Bay had its way with Dallas on the first 2022 edition of "Sunday Night Football," feasting on Dak Prescott's discomfort with new blockers and pass catchers to claim a 19-3 victory. Tom Brady spread the ball around to help seal the Week 1 decision, leaning on a busy Leonard Fournette to ensure the rout of America's Team, which later lost Prescott to a hand issue that'll require surgery and keep him out for multiple weeks. Here are some instant takeaways from Sunday night's Bucs win: Why the Buccaneers won It wasn't because they stayed healthy, that's for sure. Even with starting left tackle Donovan Smith and No. 1 receiver Chris Godwin exiting early due to injury, Brady and the Bucs were very efficient with the ball in their hands, offsetting initial red-zone woes by spreading the ball to their big men -- both Mike Evans and newcomer Julio Jones created space downfield -- and feeding Fournette, who owned the backfield with nearly 130 yards on 21 carries. Todd Bowles' defense, meanwhile, had its way all night even without aggressive blitzing. Shaq Barrett and Devin White disrupted the pocket multiple times, and Antoine Winfield Jr. easily swiped an errant Prescott pass. By the end, all the Bucs had to do was keep everything in front of them, all but letting the Cowboys stumble over themselves.
