WATCH: CB Diggs makes tip drill INT, K Zuerlein finally makes FG for short-lived lead

CB Trevon Diggs got in on the takeaway party with an interception on a tip drill and K Greg Zuerlein cashed in on the play with a field goal

If one takeaway for the Dallas defense wasn’t enough, cornerback Trevon Diggs joined the party after a tipped pass for Tampa Bay found its way to him. Diggs had some struggles in his rookie season, but spent a lot of time in practice matching up on wide receiver Amari Cooper and he’s making his presence felt early.

This was the second straight takeaway for the Cowboys in as many defensive possessions and the offense was forced to a three-and-out after starting at the Buccaneers 21 yard line. K Greg Zuerlein stepped in after the quick stop by the Tampa Bay defense and made the 35-yard field goal to give Dallas a 16-14 lead. Zuerlein has missed a 31-yarder and a PAT early in this game and will need to tighten up as this game and the season progresses.

Unfortunately the defense couldn’t hold a third-straight time as Tom Brady found Antonio Brown for a big bomb down the right sideline against Anthony Brown, giving Tampa a 21-16 lead going into the half.
