The first Sunday night game of the NFL season features QB Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC).
On Site host Tony Anderson is joined by USA TODAY’s Cowboys beat reporter Jori Epstein, who gives the scoop from inside the Dallas locker room.
The Cowboys and Buccaneers actually met in Week 1 a year ago, facing off in the NFL season opener on a Thursday night in Tampa.
Brady threw for 379 yards and 4 TDs, rallying the Bucs to a 31-29 victory, which was capped by Ryan Succop’s 36-yard field with 2 seconds remaining.
Just 1 minute, 22 seconds earlier, the Cowboys kicked a field goal for 29-28 lead.

Will Sunday night’s game feature the same type of fireworks? Anderson points out, “we won’t see Amari Cooper, Antonio Brown or Gronk, so I don’t like the Over, but I do like betting on …”
Listen to the video above to hear who Anderson likes.
FYI: Cooper is now with the Cleveland Browns (offseason trade with Dallas), Brown is unsigned, last playing in Week 16 before his famous walk-off-the-field incident with Tampa, and Rob Gronkowski retired following his 2nd season with the Bucs.
