An upset in last week in Minneapolis over the Vikings set the stage for the Bucs home opener today at Ray Jay. Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield admitted on a podcast this week that the win over the Vikings wasn’t pretty but it “felt amazing.” The Chicago Bears come to Tampa 0-1 after their opening week loss to the Packers.

The Bucs got a pick 6 with 2 minutes to go and held off the Bears to go 2-0 with a 27-17 win. The Bucs will now get ready to host the Philadelphia Eagles for Monday Night Football next week at Ray Jay.
