Despite the stinging feeling of post season elimination, the Dallas Cowboys edged out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-24 on Sunday Night Football. Like last week, the Cowboys received solid contributions across the board,

Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had one of his best nights as a starter this season, including a career-high 226 passing yards in the first half. He finished the night 26 of 35 passing for 292 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys leaned on the passing game all night.

The Cowboys were eliminated from the NFC playoff race earlier in the day, but a spirited effort on 'SNF' knocked the Buccaneers out of first place in the NFC South.
