On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play their second straight road game to open the 2016 season, this time in Glendale, Arizona against the Cardinals. It will be the 19th meeting between the two teams and the winner will take the all-time lead in the head-to-head battle (more on the Bucs-Cardinals series history). Arizona is coming off a deep run into the 2015 playoffs and will be hungry for a win after a heartbreaking opening-week loss to the New England Patriots. The Buccaneers are seeking their first 2-0 start since 2010.
To get that two-win boost towards the playoffs, the Buccaneers will have to put pressure on veteran quarterback Carson Palmer and keep track of such versatile defenders as Tyrann Mathieu and Deone Buccanon.
