SALT LAKE CITY – Former Bingham Miners standout Dalton Schultz got the Dallas Cowboys on the scoreboard during their Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers hosted the Cowboys at Raymond James Stadium on Monday, January 16.

With 6:28 remaining in the opening quarter, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott tossed a pass over the middle and into the arms of an open Schultz. After the reception, the tight end turned and walked into the end zone for the first points of the night.

Schultz’s touchdown gave the Cowboys a 6-0 lead.

The catch capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive that took 3:32.

After the score, Schultz had one reception for 22 yards and a touchdown. During the regular season, Schultz had 57 catches for 577 yards and five touchdowns.

Schultz has now reached the end zone three times in Dallas’ last three contests.

The Cowboys entered the NFL Playoffs with a 12-5 record. The Buccaneers made the postseason with an 8-9 record.

Dallas’ game against Tampa Bay is broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
