Cowboys ride dazzling defensive plays to trip Buccaneers

Dallas gets incredible defense to thwart Tampa Bay

The Dallas Cowboys made a couple of improbable defensive plays in the fourth quarter on Sunday and upended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 26-24.

There was an incredible interception in the end zone by Jourdan Lewi. He ripped the football away from Jalen McMillan.

Later in the game, with the Bucs needing a field goal for a win, Baker Mayfield somehow got the football to Rachaad White.

White was fighting for more yardage and as he was tackeld Daron Bland forced a fumble and recovered it.

Ballgame, Cowboys win.

The loss damaged the Bucs’ hopes to win the NFC South. They are tied with the Atlanta Falcons. However, Atlants swept the season series from Tampa Bay and that gives the Falcons the tiebreaker.

It could have been a WWE-style move but Vea showed some mercy.
