After opening their preseason schedule with a 19-14 loss to the Bengals last week, the Buccaneers second, third and fourth-stringers sleepwalked their way to a 34-3 loss at the hands of the Tennessee Titans at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday night.
Saturday’s contest came after two joint practices between the Bucs and Titans this week, so Bruce Arians stuck to the plan of holding Tampa Bay’s starting units out. Tennessee rested their first-teamers as well, leading to a depth against depth matchup. It wasn’t a close battle whatsoever, as the Bucs didn’t put anything together on offense and could only ask for so much from their defense.
