The Buccaneers didn’t get the victory in the win/loss column on Friday, but there was still plenty to be happy about.
The quarterbacks played against the Detroit Lions defense outside of fourth-string quarterback Austin Allen. On the defensive side of the ball, we saw a defensive line apply a decent amount of pressure and Vernon’s Hargreaves III play with much more confidence out of the nickel position.
Las week’s open thread included a poll asking if Bucs fans out there were excited heading into the season following the game against the Titans.
