In the New Sombrero, the Buccaneers showed why they are the defending Super Bowl champions and why the Cowboys still need a long way to go by shutting them out.
Amid a firestorm of off-field distractions courtesy of Keyshawn Johnson and Warren Sapp, the Bucs were able to both move the ball well and defend against the young Cowboys’ offense.
Cowboy quarterback Quincy Carter was held to just 140 yards passing and was sacked four times.
Johnson, who had demanded through an agent earlier in the week that he wanted more touches, had a seven yard TD grab in the game’s only offensive touchdown.
