Cowboys, Buccaneers Kick Off NFL Season

(Tampa, FL) — The 2021 NFL season kicks off tonight with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Dallas Cowboys.

The two teams enter the year coming off very different 2020 campaigns, as Tom Brady and the Bucs finished the season as Super Bowl champions.

On the other side, the Cowboys missed the playoffs after competing most of last season without quarterback Dak Prescott, finishing with a record of six-and-ten. Now, following a shoulder injury that kept him out of the pre-season, Prescott is reportedly healthy and ready to play.

Kickoff for the game is set for 7:20 p.m. Central time.
