The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were looking for their first win of the season in their home opener albeit an empty Raymond James Stadium. Tom Brady and the Bucs started on offense and once again came out to a flying start. They ended up going 4 and out on their first possession of the game but made up for it on defense as Jordan Whitehead was able to intercept Teddy Bridgewater pass on the Panther’s first drive of the game.
Brady went back to work on offense driving down the field and capped off the run by handing the ball off to Ronald Jones Jr who would run in a 7-yard touchdown to open the scoring and make it 7-0 for the Bucs.
