With both teams battered and bruised in extreme heat, the Buccaneers proved superior in nearly every facet as they secured a convincing 33-16 victory Sunday.
A vital win to pick up following a massive blunder against the Denver Broncos last week and a preceding divisional opener on a short week, Tampa looked focused and motivated as it dashed out to a massive 24-0 lead early in the game.
Baker Mayfield looked locked in from start to finish, while Todd Bowles’s dominance over Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts continued with a generally excellent defensive game plan.
