New season, same Tom Brady: QB leads Bucs to last-gasp victory over Cowboys

• 44-year-old throws four touchdowns in 31-29 victory
• Dak Prescott impressive in return from season-ending injury

Tom Brady threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns, helping the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers kick off the NFL season with a mistake-filled 31-29 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

With seats in a NFL stadium filled to full capacity for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Ryan Succop won it with a 36-yard field goal with two seconds remaining. Brady set the victory up with a last-minute drive directed on the same field where the Bucs won the Super Bowl in February.
