  "account": "In Thursday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys secured a 10-7 halftime lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The match followed Dallas' game in Brazil on September 27, a trip to Houston for an early Sunday game, and tonight's contest against the Buccaneers. The offense played for 71 and 73 snaps against the Ravens and Texans, respectively.\n\nDuring the first half, the Cowboys appeared jet-lagged, managing to lead 10-7 despite a lackluster display. The Buccaneers outgained the Cowboys 154-146. Dallas had possession for only 10 minutes and 31 seconds, scoring on just two of five possessions. Running back Javonte Williams contributed with a 1-yard touchdown run off the opening kickoff, while Brandon Aubrey hit a 41-yard field goal on the team's final series of the first half.\n\nQuarterback Dak Prescott completed 9 of 20 passes for 114 yards, while Williams amassed 32 rushing yards on seven attempts. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had one catch for 4 yards, and George Pickens added 36 yards on three receptions. Quarterback Jalon Daniels, stepping in for the injured Baker Mayfield for the second consecutive game, threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Bucky Irving. Daniels completed 12 of 16 passes for 91 yards, with Chris Godwin catching three passes for 37 yards. Irving had nine carries for 35 yards. Chase McLaughlin's 61-yard field goal in the second quarter was waved off, with officials citing a delay of game penalty; the Buccaneers punted.",
