It’s mid-August. In a normal year, that means one thing: PRESEASON FOOTBALL!
Unfortunately, 2020 hasn’t been a normal year—not in the slightest, really. So, in an attempt to adjust to the new normal—and in hopes of pulling off a football season amid a pandemic—the NFL has canceled all preseason games for 2020. That means, instead of seeing the new-look Buccaneers in action Friday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason opener, our first chance to see the team on the field will be Sunday, Sept. 13 when it hits the road to take on the New Orleans Saints.
