Coming off of a bye week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers return to action Sunday against the 7-2 New England Patriots.Â
The Bucs and Patriots are two of only eight teams with only two losses on the season so far. Both are in firm contention for the No. 1 seed atop their respective conferences.
After finishing 4-13 just a season ago, the Patriots have been one of the most surprising and improved teams in the league, and second-year quarterback Drake Maye has been the catalyst leading the team’s impressive season.Â
Maye has catapulted himself into the MVP conversation halfway through the season.
