The Tampa Bay squad suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Denver team just last week, a wake-up call that served as a harsh reminder not to underestimate any opponent in the NFL. This lesson was reinforced in their latest matchup against a battered Philadelphia team, missing key players such as Right Tackle Lane Johnson and star Wide Receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The Tampa Bay team came out strong, setting records in the process as Mike Evans became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. By the end of the first quarter, quarterback Baker Mayfield was on track for record-breaking numbers, dominating the opposition with a decisive 4th & Goal performance. The Philadelphia team was forced to abandon their running game, allowing the Tampa Bay defense to take control and rack up an impressive six sacks.
The outcome was a resounding victory for the home team, and with the Atlanta team’s last-second field goal win over New Orleans, Tampa Bay now holds sole possession of first place in the NFC South. The stage is set for a crucial divisional showdown against Atlanta on Thursday.
