The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to open their season against the Washington Commanders at Raymond James Stadium. With a nearly unchanged roster from last season, the Bucs aim to secure a victory, especially against a Commanders team undergoing major changes, including a new coaching staff and rookie quarterback.

Defensively, the Bucs need to focus on containing rookie Jayden Daniels, while also testing Washington's revamped secondary. If Tampa Bay can capitalize early in the game and improve their red zone offense, they may find success against the Commanders.
