Fresh off of what was an emotional 19-17 win over the Patriots in Foxborough last Sunday night, the Buccaneers returned to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Tampa Bay came into Sunday’s game without Rob Gronkowski (ribs), Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion), Sean Murphy-Bunting (elbow), Carlton Davis (quad) and Patrick O’Connor (calf). Not to mention, Giovani Bernard (knee), Jamel Dean (knee) and Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) all entered the day with the “questionable” designation. Simply put, the Bucs were banged-up heading into this one, but they showed in Week 4 that they could overcome.
