NFL predictions: 3 bold takes for the Cowboys vs Buccaneers
My three bold takes from last week were off-the-mark, to say the least. Against Houston, Donovan Ezeiruaku was silent, but Rashan Garry and Quinnen Williams did make some noise rushing the passer. Ryan Flournoy did not have a breakout game, just a couple of solid contributions. And even though he played really solid defense, Joey […]
