Watch Jaylon Smith score on 69-yard fumble return
Jaylon Smith picked up a fumble and returned it 69 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to give the Dallas Cowboys 14-3 lead on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late in the first quarter Sunday.
Randy Gregory blindsided quarterback Jameis Winston from behind to force the fumble with a strip sack. It’s Gregory’s fifth sack of the season. Gregory was penalized for off-sides earlier in the drive.
It’s the first defensive touchdown for the Cowboys in 2018. The Cowboys led 14-6 midway through the second quarter.
The game had a sober beginning. Cowboys’ defensive end Tyrone Crawford was carted off with a neck injury on the second play.
