The Buccaneers caught many people by surprise after the first two weeks of the 2018 season after starting 2-0. Since then, Tampa Bay lost the last two and have taken hits in power rankings across several outlets.
Top 10 power rankings included the Bucs for many. Led by a streaky Ryan Fitzpatrick under center, many viewed Fitz & Co. as a viable threat to opponents.
However, the Steelers brought the Bucs back down to earth on Monday Night Football in Week 3. Although they kept it close, they remained high on certain rankings.
