What to Know

Tampa Bay and Dallas will compete for holiday cheer on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Both of those teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Last week, Tampa Bay came up short against Baltimore, falling 12-20. Tampa Bay's defeat came about despite a quality game from Peyton Barber, who rushed for 85 yards and 1 touchdown on 19 carries.

Meanwhile, Dallas found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 0-23 punch to the gut against Indianapolis. Dallas were down by 0-20 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
