As things stand through six weeks, the Buccaneers have been one of the most consistent teams in football, but one thing they lack is a win over a genuine contender. Having played just one, the Philadelphia Eagles, and losing 31-25, the Buccaneers get another shot with the Lions, and this one has to be taken.

Baker Mayfield earns high praise from Allen Iverson as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers improve to 4-1 behind his standout performances.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka -- both dealing with injured hamstrings -- are officially questionable for Monday night's showdown versus the Detroit Lions.

It is encouraging that Evans is back on the practice field, and it is the first step in his return to the Buccaneers offense, and if he can suit up against the Lions, that would fill Tampa Bay with even more confidence that it can slay the Lions.

Baker Mayfield shrugged off the “MVP!” chants the way he shook away from tacklers. Mayfield’s heroics came early in the fourth quarter instead of the final minutes as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-19 on Sunday.
