The Detroit Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday afternoon at Ford Field, marking the Lions’ second consecutive home game to start the season. In their season opener, the Lions initially trailed the Los Angeles Rams but rallied to a 17-3 lead before the Rams took a late 20-17 lead. Jared Goff led a game-tying drive, and David Montgomery’s 1-yard touchdown in overtime secured a 24-20 win.
The Buccaneers also had a strong opener, dominating most of their game against the Washington Commanders. Baker Mayfield threw for nearly 300 yards and 4 touchdowns, with Mike Evans catching 2 and Chris Godwin catching 1. Tampa Bay’s defense was effective, limiting Washington to just 2 conversions on 8 third-down attempts and stifling Jayden Daniels in his NFL debut.
