The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 5-1 on the season following their 30-19 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
I wanted to single out a few Buccaneers players who made huge contrubutions to Sunday’s victory but I couldn’t whittle the list down to ONLY a couple!
The fact is, the Bucs got huge contributions from many players and isn’t that WHY we love this game so much? There are some sports like basketball or hockey where if you lose a few players your season is over.
Football is the ultimate team game and the Bucs are proving that when you have a great scouting, coaching and development staff in place, you can withstand a slurry of injuries.
The team has been hit hard with injuries this season. Especially to the Wide Receiver room. When your top-3 WRs, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan are out it’s a tough road to travel. Then, Emeka Egbuka went out at and the Bucs STILL put up 30 points.
Kam Johnson during his last preseason game, kept dropping passes. He was most likely one of the last few players to even make the team. Sunday he’s catching everything! The other Johnson, (Tez) is wafer thin but fast as lightning.
Every unit stepped up today. The band aid O-Line held up and the run game was efficient enough to keep the Bucs from being one dimensional.
The Defense was opportunistic creating two turnovers and getting 6 sacks on Mack Jones. They gave up 1 TD and 19 total points.
And, what can you say about Baker Mayfield other than MVP? In the Buccaneers’ 50th season, he has quickly become one of the most popular Bucs QBs ever. When asked about his team today he quickly turned his attention to next Monday night against Detroit. His focus is intense and that’s what you’d expect from their captain.
