With their 31-29 season-opening win over the Cowboys at Raymond James Stadium on Thursday night, the Buccaneers now have a nine-game winning streak that dates back to last season. It wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but it was a win nonetheless and the defending Super Bowl champions are off to a 1-0 start in the 2021 season.
There were plenty of things that went wrong for Tampa Bay in Week 1, with four turnovers and over 100 penalty yards nearly giving the game to Dallas. But the best teams overcome when they aren’t at their best, and that’s what the Bucs did.
