The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night in Arlington, Texas, with the visitors still trying to recover from an 0-4 start and the hosts looking to strengthen an early edge in the NFC East. The game is scheduled for 8.15pm ET / 1.15am BST on Friday at AT&T Stadium.

According to The Guardian’s guide, the Buccaneers will play without Baker Mayfield, who is still nursing an injury to his throwing thumb. Tampa Bay has already lost its first four games, a start that would normally end playoff hopes quickly, but the team remains two games out of a tie for the lead in the NFC South.

Dallas enters at 2-2 and has been getting strong production from Dak Prescott, whom The Guardian describes as leading one of the league’s most efficient offenses. Through four games, Dallas is averaging 3.4 points per offensive series, and nearly 75% of its yards have come through the air.

Viewers in the United States can stream the game on Prime Video. In Canada, it will be available on DAZN and Fubo. In the United Kingdom, coverage is listed on Sky Sports NFL and Sky Sports Main Event, with streaming on NOW or NFL Game Pass on DAZN.
