Tampa Bay Buccaneers news

The takeaway from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers week 3 14-12 loss home opener to the Green Bay Packers is their lack of receivers due to injuries to their key receivers. That Russell Cager, Jr., who caught the TD catch from Tom Brady is going to be a really good receiver. The D by both teams was tenacious. Fumbles were forced by both teams that were recovered by the D on both teams. The Bucs forced an interception. The Bucs and Packers were once division rivals when the Bucs used to be in the NFC North. Once again great D by both teams. This Bucs team reminds me a lot of the 1997 and 2002 Bucs D. The Bucs are now 2-1. 

Week 2: Buccaneers 20 Saints 10. For the 2nd week in a row the Bucs and their opponents D has been tenacious. The Bucs with the win over their division rival the Saints go to 2-0. Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore were both ejected for fighting early in the 4th quarter. Both players could face suspensions in their upcoming games. The Bucs-Saints rivalry goes all the way back to the 2002 season when the Saints left the NFC West, and the Bucs left the NFC North when the Bucs and Saints first moved to the NFC South. Expect nothing but 2 opposing teams who want to beat each other to try to win the division and perhaps face one another in the playoffs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 19-3 in week 1 in the regular season. The Bucs are 1-0. The NFL blocked showing all videos on shared websites so to see the highlights it must be watched on YouTube.
