The Buccaneers avoided a letdown performance on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, following up their Week 6 beatdown of the Packers with a 45-20 victory over the Raiders to improve to 5-2 on the year.
Tampa Bay’s offense clicked early and caught fire late in Sunday’s game while the defense had its tough moments before ultimately buckling down and getting the job done when it truly mattered. The win has the Bucs at 5-2 for the first time since 2010 and puts them in a great position to be 6-2 heading into their next matchup against the Saints—as long as they can get by the Giants next Monday night of course.
