Dak Prescott played his first game after suffering a gruesome ankle injury 11 months ago and signing a $160 million contract. He completed 42 of 58 passes for 403 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. But the Cowboys couldn’t stop Tom Brady on the final drive. So it was the defending champion Buccaneers 31-29 Thursday night to open the NFL season.

It wasn’t COVID or a hurricane. Instead, a plumbing problem canceled the Harker Heights varsity football game against Round Rock McNeil scheduled for Thursday night. The water main break at Leo Buckley Stadium made it impossible to sustain safe practices, including restrooms, concessions, and hand washing. Killeen ISD will work with Round Rock ISD to determine a new date for the game.
