PLAYER OF THE GAME
The Dallas Cowboys‘ secondary delivered a stellar performance, highlighted by Jourdan Lewis’ spectacular interception that saw him rip the ball away from Jalen McMillan in the end zone, erasing a Buccaneers touchdown and halting a potential comeback.
Targeted eight times on the day, Lewis allowed six catches but limited them to just three first downs. He also forced an incompletion and recorded a key defensive stop, capping off an impressive outing.
