The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0 heading into their Week 3 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, and there’s plenty to be happy with so far this season.
The Bucs offense appears to be getting into a groove two weeks in, so far particularly impressive with its third down conversion rate, lack of turnovers and sack evasion. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s defense has been its primary weapon, measuring top 10 in almost every category and top five in sacks, takeaways and rushing defense.
