Tampa Bay Buccaneers get revenge on Lions to move to 2-0

DETROIT -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers All Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs couldn't even bring himself to watch Sunday. After a failed third-and-6 connection between quarterback Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans that resulted in a 43-yard punt by Jake Camarda, Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions got the ball back at the Tampa Bay 44-yard line with 33 seconds to go.

"I had my eyes closed," said Wirfs, who relied on left guard Ben Bredeson and the crowd to tell him what was happening as the Bucs desperately clung to a 20-16 lead.
