Team Storylines
Buccaneers: From Hot Start to Rebound Mission
Tampa Bay opened 3–0 before stumbling against Philadelphia, then surged back with wins over Seattle, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Their latest loss to the Patriots (28–23) exposed defensive inconsistencies despite Baker Mayfield throwing for
273 yards and 3 TDs.
Bills: Searching for Stability
Buffalo stormed to a 4–0 start but has been inconsistent since. Last week’s 30–13 loss to Miami showed offensive issues, though
Josh Allen still delivered 306 yards and 2 TDs. The Bills need a strong defensive response after allowing big early deficits.
