The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fought hard for it, but the team managed to pull out a 20-17 win as underdogs in Minneapolis against the Vikings to start the season 1-0.
It was initially a slow start for the Bucs offensively, but by rallying behind quarterback Baker Mayfield in the second half, the team did enough to put the game away and start the season off on the right note. As always, some offensive players shined more than others, and Pro Football Focus’ offensive grades do their best to quantify that.
