Buccaneers Set to Start Undrafted Rookie Jalon Daniels Against Steelers Despite Mayfield's Recovery

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to start undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 18, despite veteran Baker Mayfield making progress in his recovery from a dislocated thumb. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that while Mayfield is pushing to return, the team will evaluate his grip this week, with Daniels currently viewed as the starter. Daniels recently led the Buccaneers to their first win of the season, completing 19 of 25 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown in a 24-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The win, which featured a strong rushing performance by Bucky Irving, has boosted confidence in the rookie's ability to handle the starting role. Mayfield, who signed a lucrative extension before the season, has missed two games and is expected to return soon, but the team is prioritizing stability with Daniels for the upcoming week.

Cowboys' 24-16 Loss to Bucs Sparks Jones' Anger and Bowles' Controversial 4th-Down Call

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a 24-16 defeat to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a result that prompted owner Jerry Jones to express 'extraordinary disappointment.' The game featured a critical late interception by Dak Prescott and a controversial fourth-down decision by Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles, who opted for a field goal instead of a touchdown to secure a three-score lead. Despite the loss, the Cowboys managed a late drive but failed to convert a two-point attempt, while the Buccaneers' undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels led a dominant rushing attack. The defeat drops Dallas to 2-3, intensifying scrutiny on both franchises' coaching and performance.
