It looks as though Jalen McMillan will make his season debut this Sunday against the Browns after being a full participant in practice all week.

The Bucs' pass rush has a chance to redeem themselves from last week against a Browns offensive line that didn't do a great job protecting Deshaun Watson last week,

The recipe for the Bucs needs to be a heavy dose of Bucky Irving early on to settle everyone into the game - including Baker Mayfield.

The Bucs have a prime opportunity to bounce back from their week one loss as they face off against the Cleveland Browns in the home opener

The defensive line was a no show in week one - but now face an injured Browns O-Line that allowed five sacks last week

Will Baker's emotions get the better of him? Or will he protect the ball in a game the Bucs should win?

The Bucs had some star players no show in week one - but it shouldn't be a running trend throughout the season, or even the month.

How do the Bucs get things back on track against a beatable opponent in their home opener?

This is a game tailor made for the defense to bounce back after the pass rush struggled to open the season

The Bucs looked rusty and unorganized along the offensive and defensive lines - and that proved to be the difference in week one against the Bengals.

Bucky Irving looked to be back to his rookie form while the Bucs' receivers, corners, and Josiah Trotter should have Bucs fans excited

The NFL lied to you. Again. And it's a good thing.

The Bucs turned the ball over four times on their way to a 33-27 loss to the Bengals to open the 2026 season.

Baker Mayfield had three fumbles - but his offensive line wasn't doing him any favors.

Biggest takeaways from the loss in Cincinnati

Jaron Spor, Ryan Lavoie and former NFL player Marcus Ray break down the Buccaneers' season opener, starting with the offense. Baker Mayfield completed 23 of 28 passes for 216 yards and added a rushing touchdown, but Tampa's four fumbles ultimately proved costly.

Then we break down the defense, including an incredible NFL debut from rookie linebacker Josiah Trotter. Trotter finished with 10 tackles, a sack, an interception and a pick-six as Tampa tried to fight its way back into the game.

We'll also go Around the NFL before wrapping up the show with our Player of the Game.

The Buccaneers and Bengals square off in week one as the Bucs will likely be without one of their top receivers to start the year

Offensively, the  Bucs need to attack the middle of Cincinnati's defense. Defensively, they have to shut down Chase Brown and remove him from being a factor in the run game.

Is this Kenny Gainwell's chance to shine as he makes his Bucs debut?

The new look Bucs' pass rush is vital to beating the Bengals. Meanwhile, the Bengals look to their own new look defense for help.

Dexter Lawrence has been unblockable and the Bucs upgraded their edges. This game will be won or lost up front for either team.

If the Bucs are going to win, using Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell in the passing game could put them over the top
