Fresh off of three straight victories (including back-to-back road wins), the Buccaneers (9-3) returned home to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a big-time matchup against the Bills (7-5).
Thought of by many in the months leading up to the season—and still some now—as a potential Super Bowl LVI preview, this matchup was always going to be an interesting one. Of course, Buffalo was one win away from meeting Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LV last season, so this one truly featured two of the top contenders in the NFL. The Bills, however, came in as losers of three out of their last five, including a 14-10 loss to the Patriots on Monday night that saw them give up 222 yards on the ground.
