The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced a tough challenge against the Baltimore Ravens, ultimately falling 41-31. The Buccaneers were already missing starting cornerback Jamel Dean and lost Tykee Smith to a concussion during the game. The Ravens' offense, led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, proved too powerful, with Jackson throwing for five touchdowns and Henry rushing for 169 yards.
Despite some solid performances from players like Greg Gaines and Vita Vea, the Buccaneers' defense struggled, allowing a season-high 244 rushing yards. The loss highlighted the team's defensive vulnerabilities and the impact of injuries on their performance.
