Why It Matters: Like most of Tampa Bay’s offense, Irving was off to a slow start in 2026. The Cowboys couldn’t slow him down on Thursday night, however, as Irving put up 175 combined yards and a pair of TDs — it was the most yards he’s had in a game since Dec. 29, 2024, when he put up 190 yards versus Carolina. The Bucs will get some extra rest before welcoming the Steelers to town in Week 6. Despite some uneven play thus far, Irving showed in Dallas why he maintains RB2 appeal.
