Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings

What happened

Primetime in Dallas, and the Bucs actually look the part: B.Irving ripping off 72 yards to set up the dagger, E.Egbuka taking an end-around 14 yards for the score, and the defense closing it with picks from Y.Diaby and A.Anzalone on back-to-back D.Prescott mistakes. The corners held up, the misery meter plummets 53 points, and for one night the vibes are real. Whether this version of the defense shows up again is the only question that matters.
