Mayfield's Magic: Buccaneers Stun Lions in 20-16 Thriller | NFL Week 2 Upset

By: Joseph Correa

This team is for real…

In a thrilling rematch of last season's playoff clash, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers exorcised their Detroit demons with a gutsy 20-16 victory over the Lions at Ford Field. This time, it was the Bucs who roared loudest in the Lions' den, led by the gritty determination of quarterback Baker Mayfield and a defense that refused to break despite missing key players.

From the opening whistle, it was clear this wasn't the same Buccaneers team that fell short in January. Mayfield, the newly minted leader of Tampa Bay's offense, orchestrated a masterful performance that blended poise with playmaking ability. His stats might not leap off the page – 12 completions for 185 yards and a touchdown – but Mayfield's timely scrambles and clutch throws kept the Bucs' offense moving against a relentless Detroit pass rush.

"We stick together," Mayfield declared after the game, his voice brimming with the confidence of a quarterback who's found his footing. "Building chemistry, building resiliency, the culture we want – this is a huge win for us."

Nowhere was Mayfield's impact more evident than on the game-winning drive in the third quarter. With the Lions having just taken their first lead, Mayfield responded like a seasoned veteran. He scrambled for a crucial first down, then followed it up with an 11-yard designed run that saw him break tackles en route to the end zone. It was a statement play that screamed, "This is my team now."

But Mayfield wasn't alone in his heroics. Chris Godwin, the versatile wide receiver, put on a clinic in the first half, hauling in seven catches for 117 yards and a spectacular 41-yard touchdown down the left sideline. Godwin's ability to find soft spots in the Lions' defense gave Mayfield a reliable target. It kept the Detroit secondary on their heels throughout the game.

Perhaps the most inspiring storyline, however, was Tampa Bay's defense's performance. Despite missing All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr., defensive lineman Calijah Kancey, and Vita Vea to a knee injury after halftime, the Bucs' defense bent but never broke against one of the NFL's most potent offenses.

Safeties Christian Izien and Jordan Whitehead stepped up in a big way, combining 20 tackles and making the game-saving stop on Jahmyr Gibbs on a critical fourth-down play late in the fourth quarter. Cornerback Zyon McCollum, coming off of concussion protocol, responded with a first-quarter interception and four passes defensed, including a clutch breakup in the game's final moments.

"We showed a lot of heart," Head Coach Todd Bowles said, pride evident in his voice. "That's a great team over there. We were a little undermanned, they were a little undermanned. It's a good win."

The victory pushed Tampa Bay to 2-0, matching their start from last season. But there's a different feeling around this team—a sense of resilience and unity that was palpable in the postgame locker room. Mayfield's leadership, combined with the defense's next-man-up mentality, has given the Buccaneers a newfound swagger.

As the team heads back to Tampa, they carry with them more than just a win. They've proven to themselves and the rest of the NFL that they can go toe-to-toe with the conference's elite, even when the odds are stacked against them. In the unpredictable world of the NFL, that belief can be the difference between a good team and a great one.

The road ahead is long, and as Coach Bowles reminded everyone, "We won the first two games last year and you see what happened after that." But for now, the Buccaneers can savor this victory – a testament to their quarterback's moxie, receiver's brilliance, and defense's heart. In the Lions' den, the Buccaneers showed they have the makings of true pride.

NFL 2024 Wildcard Round Preview & Predictions

While I haven't posted any NFL blogs this season I have been sure to keep an eye on the happenings throughout the league, and we're finally in the part of the season that matters.

So lets dive in to the full plate of nuggets and preview this weekend's games.

1. Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams

Of all the games that will be played on this weekend, this one has the most storylines and subplots.

Starting with quarterbacks who traded places 3 years ago and now face off. Fortunately, this matchup will likely be decided by more than just the quarterbacks.

The Rams appear to have found a remedy to thier run game through Kyren Williams, who is 3rd in total rushing yards, and in contrast the Lions have a more balanced attack with David Montgomerry leading their run game and Amon-Ra St. Brown leading thier pass catchers.

This is a situation where I am opting to pick with my head over my heart, and while I'll actually be rooting for the Lions to win the game because thier story in 2023 has been phenomenal, I am going to pick the Rams and Sean McVay to win in Detroit and upset the team with a better record.

MY PICK: Rams Win 27-24

2. Tampa Bay Buccanneers vs Philadelphia Eagles

I am in a state of near-catastrohic horror at what has happened to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.

What started out as a promising season and Philly repeatedly executing the greatest play ever executed in NFL history, has turned into a late season collapse that started with that really bad loss to the 9ers in week 13.

Thier defensive back issues have now spiralled in to a team that leak points so badly, they lost to the New York Giants in week 17, and it's crept it's way on to the offense, and the Eagles were shutout and put up 0 points.

Then you have to factor in Philly's history against Tampa Bay itself. Flashbacks to 2002 when Gruden's defensive juggernauts domniated Donovan McNabb and the Eagles, as well as the more recent 15-31 demolition at the hands of Tom Brady's Buccaneers in the 2021 playoffs.

I will say this, I am glad that Bruce Arians isn't calling plays in Tampa because he'd air it out on these Philly db's.

My biggest concern though, is that Jalen Hurts has 9 fumbles this season and Tampa safety Antoine Winfield, is joint-leader in forced fumbles with 6, and Tampa have been good at that as a team with 18 on the season.

I'll pick the Eagles to win here, only because I still think the Eagles offense has some life left in it and I am a Jalen Hurts believer.

MY PICK: Eagles Win 21-16

3. Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins

Honestly, I don't root for the FIns and I don't even enjoy watching them play neccessarily, but I do enjoy the schadenfreud of watching Tua Tagovailoa, lead the league in passing yards and quarterback a team in the playoffs.

The Chiefs are different story and to be honest with I have enjoyed watching the Chiefs more this year, than any other season of the Mahomes era, at times it's been kind of comical.

The Dolphins are dealing with a bunch of injuries. Jaylen Waddle, Bradley Chubb, Xavien Howard, Raheem Mostert were all out in week 18 and likely in the Wildcard round too.

The Chiefs have to like thier chances and thier recievers can breath a little bit easier, knowing the Dolphins won't be thier usual high-scoring selves. I fully expect the Chief's recievers to drop passes, but this particular opponent can't make them pay them when they do it on 3rd down.

The only issue I see, is Kansas City are not a high scoring team in thier own right either, and while the Fins'injuries are worse.

I want the Fins to win but their too injured and will likely lose a close low scoring game in Arrowhead on Tyreke Hill's return.

MY PICK: Chiefs win 21-17

4. Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers

I honestly think that the Pitburgh Steelers are doing is winning games via witchcraft because just as recenty as week 14, the entire state of Pennsylvania wanted him fired.

The Bills for thier part, started the first 10 weeks of the season with a 5-5 record and have since ripped off a 6 game winning streak that sees them in the 2 seed.

The Steelers offense sputtered badly midway through the season, but since week 16 and putting Mason Rudolph on the field, things have been looking up.

It sucks that TJ Watt won't play, he leads the league in sacks and that matters because the Bills are the best team in 3rd down percentage this season with 49%.

Buffalo finally appear to have found some balance between Josh Allen heroics and establishing the run. To make matters worse, Buffalo also rank as one of the best pass defenses in the league, ranking 7th in opponent passing yards.

What this comes down to, is that the Bills have Josh Allen and the Steelers are quarterbacked by Mason Rudolph, and in contrast to most of the weekend's games, you can't convince me that the favorite isn't winning this.

MY PICK: Bills Win 28-16

5. Cleveland Browns vs Houston Texans

The Browns have been my guilty pleasure all season long, and those sideline-to-sideline videos on thier Youtube channel are honestly awesome.

A team whose defense has been lead by Myles Garret, and has had to find thier identity on the offensive side of the ball becasue of injures to 3 different quarterbacks this season, and while I don't love Kevin Stefanksi's play calling, he does deserve credit for the circumstance he was in this year and how his team kept winning.

The Houston Texans have undergone a rejuvenation in thier own right with newly drafted CJ Stroud under center.

While Deshaun Watson will have to watch his current and former teams from the sidelines as a result of a shoulder injury, Joe Flacco will quarterback the Browns and has since week 14, and with him has come a new confidence to the Browns' offense.

I'll gladly take the Browns and thier newly minted Joe Flacco offense, alongside the best defense in the NFL to win this one.

MY PICK: Browns Win 27-20

6. Dallas Cowboys vs Greenbay Packers

The Packers are in a unique position because of how quickly they've gotten back to playoff contention.

I get that Jordan Love has been given the mantle as appears to have been the plan since he was drafted, and I don't know what to make of him getting the Packers to the playoffs in his first season. It's kind of unreal that the Packers got over Aaron Rodgers this quickly, add to that Love isn't the finished article yet.

The other major storyline is Cowboys head coach, Mike McCarthy playing host to his former team and that will surely dominate the headlines and previews going in to the weekend.

Dak Prescott leads the league in passes completed, as well as passing touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb leads the league in passes caught.

Plus I like the idea of Dallas' defense against a young quarterback, playing in thier home building and Dallas corner DaRon Bland leads the league in interceptions.

I'm picking Dallas to win, but beware because anyone who picks the underdog is not crazy. Jordan Love is completing 64% of his passes and the sneaky Packers, always seem to come up with something from special teams through Keisean Nixon.

MY PICK: Cowboys win 34-27

Buccaneers Safety Claims Team Is Trying To Lure Tom Brady

Buccaneers' Youth Movement: Jason Licht's Masterclass in NFL Roster Building

By: Joseph Correa

Follow @Frontproofmedia!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id))(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are turning heads as the season opener awaits with a roster that defies expectations. General Manager Jason Licht has orchestrated a remarkable transformation, proving that rebuilding doesn't have to mean tanking.

The Buccaneers' Week 1 depth chart is a testament to Licht's and coach Bowles' acumen. Three rookies are slated for starting roles, with a fourth poised to make an immediate impact on special teams. This youth injection isn't just a desperation play—it's a calculated strategy already bearing fruit. Graham Barton and Jalen McMillan are set to bolster the offense, while Tykee Smith will man the critical nickel corner position. Perhaps most intriguingly, running back Bucky Irving will pull double duty, spelling Rachaad White in the backfield and returning kickoffs. This multi-faceted approach to rookie integration speaks volumes about the coaching staff's confidence in their young talent.

What makes this roster construction even more impressive is the financial tightrope Licht has walked. With over $50 million in dead money constraining their options, conventional wisdom suggested a fire sale and a race to the bottom. Instead, Licht doubled down on intelligent, value-driven decisions. Retaining key veterans like Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans and the re-acquisition of Jordan Whitehead provide a stabilizing presence. Meanwhile, locking up Antoine Winfield Jr. and Tristan Wirfs with record-setting contracts sends a clear message: this team is building for now and the future.

It's a far cry from the doomsday scenarios many envisioned when Tom Brady hung up his cleats. The post-Brady era in Tampa Bay isn't about clinging to past glories or accepting mediocrity. It's about aggressive retooling and unearthing the next generation of stars.

Of course, depth charts and offseason moves don't win games. The true test will come when the Buccaneers face off against the Washington Commanders in Week 1. But even if growing pains emerge, the foundation Licht has laid is undeniable. In a league often criticized for short-term thinking, the Buccaneers are charting a different course. They're proving that a team can remain competitive with savvy management while simultaneously planning for the future.

It's a delicate balance but one that Licht and Bowles have mastered. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Tampa Bay. Can this blend of youth and experience coalesce into a contender? Will the rookies live up to their billing? These questions linger, but one thing is sure: counting out the Buccaneers would be a mistake. In the what have you done for me lately world of the NFL, the Bucs have already notched their first win of the season – in the front office.

[ad_1] Tom Brady remains retired. Until he isn't.Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. believes the team is trying to coax Brady into the "isn't" category.“I’m sure we’re still reaching out to him trying to see if he’s trying to come back to the team,” Winfield recently said on Richard Sherman's podcast, via JoeBucsFan.com. “Hey, it could happen. Anything’s possible."After Sherman said he doesn't put anything past Brady, Winfield said, "It’s up in the air, man."It would be a crazy development, especially with the Bucs already carrying more than $35 million in dead cap money for Brady, whether he's on the team or not. And with Brady attempting to buy a slice of the Raiders, the approval process presumably would need to be put on hold, indefinitely.Still, there's no reason for the Bucs to not want him. Beyond what he would do to make the team better, he would fill the stadium with paying customers. And he would sell a ton of Creamsicle jerseys with his name and number on them.Hell, you can already buy a Brady jersey in the Creamsicle look — even though he has never actually worn that jersey, and even though he only ever will if he indeed emerges from retirement.Again.
