Get to know the Buccaneers before the Jets’ Week 17 matchup with Tampa Bay.

Tom Brady will face the Jets at MetLife Stadium for the first time since 2019 in Week 17, and he’ll be wearing a different jersey.

Zach Wilson enjoyed a solid game against the Jaguars’ soft defense but will face a much tougher challenge against former Jets head coach Todd Bowles’ defense. The Buccaneers boast a powerful defensive front, as well as a solid secondary. The Jets, meanwhile, still have a pretty inexperienced offense riddled with injury. New York’s defense also remains one of the worst in the league this year and could be ripped apart by Brady and the Bucs’ high-powered offense.
