PRESENTED BY

Challenge.

So Baker Mayfield is 1-7 in night games as a Bucs quarterback.

Next up for his team is the Texans on Monday night. (more…)

Bucs backup QB Teddy Bridgewater.

So the Bucs handed Baker Mayfield a gift last month. (more…)

If you thought you that 53-yard Bucs punt return Sunday felt like an AI-driven deep fake, it’s understandable.

That was the longest Tampa Bay punt return since 2015. (more…)

Baker Mayfield was rusty and off his game mentally early Sunday against Atlanta. (more…)

Offensive lines are like forced marriages of sports radio hosts. There’s no telling if there is any chemistry in a combination. (more…)
