Only two teams in the NFC have yet to secure two home victories this season. The 2-12 New York Giants, on track to land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, remain winless at home (0-8). Meanwhile, their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, have also struggled to find success at home, posting a 1-6 record at Jerry World in 2024.
Despite being out of playoff contention, the Cowboys will aim for their second home win when they host the suddenly surging Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Sunday Night Football.

The Buccaneers are riding a four-game win streak. Most recently, they dominated the Chargers 40-17 in Los Angeles, a victory that has them leading the NFC South by one game. With just two games left against Carolina and New Orleans after tonight’s matchup in Dallas, Tampa Bay controls its division fate.
This surge comes after a four-game losing streak, but regardless of the outcome, the Bucs have been consistently putting up impressive numbers on offense. They rank third in the league in total offense (388.3 YPG) and fourth in scoring (28.8 PPG). Since becoming the last team to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, Tampa Bay has averaged nearly 31 points per game. Quarterback Baker Mayfield enters Week 16 ranked fourth in passing yards and third in touchdown passes for the season.
