Cowboys vs. Buccaneers preview: Can Tampa Bay slow down CeeDee Lamb and high-powered Dallas offense?

Dallas brings a historically efficient scoring attack into Thursday night against an 0-4 Tampa Bay squad turning to rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels. In the Week 5 edition of "Thursday Night Football," the Dallas Cowboys play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dallas rebounded last week from its heartbreaking loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro the week before, storming back from a double-digit deficit to defeat the Houston Texans with a furious fourth-quarter rally. The Cowboys have arguably the NFL's best offense through the first four weeks of the season, and it could get a lift here with the potential return of guard Tyler Smith. But the Cowboys also have arguably the league's worst defense, and that unit is still dealing with various injuries even after trading for Joey Porter Jr.

Tampa is coming off a dispiriting loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first game of the Jalon Daniels era. The Buccaneers have turned to Daniels in the wake of Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, and the offense sputtered in his first game under center, totaling just 275 yards while Daniels was intercepted twice. The Bucs are now 0-4 after that loss and already in danger of falling out of the playoff picture entirely just a month into the NFL season. Will Dallas get over .500 for
