NFL Week 16 Sunday Night Football: Where and how to watch Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys, live stream, and broadcast details

NFL Week 16 Sunday Night Football will feature a battle of two NFC rivals looking to continue winning games. However, only one team from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys game will end up with a W as the likes of Micah Parsons and Baker Mayfield, lay it out on the field.

For the Buccaneers, their chances of making it to the postseason will receive a boost if they win in Dallas. They head the NFC South and can avoid the likes of the Atlanta Falcons from catching up if they keep their four-game winning streak alive.

On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys are all but out of playoff contention as their NFC East has two clear runaway leaders. However, Parson had promised fans that they would not let this season go to waste. Therefore, he would like to keep this NFL Week 16 Buccaneers vs. Cowboys Sunday Night Football matchup as exciting as possible.

Why can the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in red hot form. They have won their last four games and know that their win streak can continue into the postseason with a win on Sunday Night. Baker Mayfield and his teammates have shrugged off their stretch of four-straight losses to turn their season around.

They do have injury concerns for star players, however their recent performance suggests they have been able to surpass those hurdles. Against the Cowboys, they will look to do the same as they know all too well that the home team has injury concerns of their own. Particularly important will be the battle between Mike Evans and the Cowboys secondary. If he gets loose like how he did in their last game, the Cowboys will be in trouble.

Why can the Dallas Cowboys win?

The Dallas Cowboys have had a storybook season so far. First, they had to deal with the loss of several players in free agency. Then Dak Prescott ended his season early, and the franchise was advised to tank. However, the team has shown considerable effort to keep this season from drowning.

In their last four games, that team effort brought them three wins. The fourth could have been one if not for a major mistake from cornerback Amani Oruwariye on an onside kick. The team was disappointed with the outcome but then came back strong to win their next game. Expect them to bring that collective effort against the Buccaneers at home.
