It’s Bucs vs. Lions in Sunday Matchup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Oct. 15, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Bucs are coming off a bye week and hold the No. 1 spot in the NFC South Division at 3-1. The Lions, also first in their division (NFC North), are 4-1. The Bucs took on the New Orleans Saints two weeks ago and won 26-11 with quarterback Baker Mayfield throwing for 246 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The Bucs defense allowed 11 points, caught an interception and sacked Saints quarterback Derek Carr three times. Meanwhile, the Lions are doing an outstanding job as quarterback Jarred Goff threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns. The Lions offense scored 42 points to beat the Panthers 42-24 on Oct. 8. Now to the injury report: Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans is questionable after suffering a hamstring strain against the Saints and Bucs left guard Luke Goedeke will be limited against the Lions. Detroit’s rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs will sit out against the Bucs.
