The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gained significant recognition after their hard-fought 20-16 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Initially doubted by many, the Bucs have now been ranked among the top teams by several major outlets, with five placing them in the top 5.
Head coach Todd Bowles and quarterback Baker Mayfield have played pivotal roles in this resurgence, steering the team through adversity, including injuries in the secondary.
With notable standout performances, especially from Chris Godwin and a resilient defense, the Bucs are showing signs of being a formidable contender this season.
