The Detroit Lions have become somewhat of a media darling over the course of the last two seasons, something that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers only seemed to have enjoyed during the three seasons Tom Brady captained the ship.
Ask anyone outside of Tampa to talk about Lavonte David’s career, if you needed further clarification of the lack of national attention the Buccaneers receive.
Following Sunday’s 20-16 win in Detroit over the Lions, the Buccaneers social media team poked fun at the doubters—basically everyone—who said the team would go to the Motor City 1-0 and leave 1-1, licking their wounds, especially with the laundry list of starters and key playmakers on the injury report.
To best explain what a “W Admin” comment on X means, you really need to look no further than the highlight reel of detractors that the Buccaneers social media team posted. Talking heads such as Stephen A. Smith went on record earlier last week after Baker Mayfield’s 4 TD effort against the Washington Commanders to say that “he’s [Mayfield] very good, but I’m not going to go as far as saying he’s ‘top tier’,” on ESPN’s First Take.
The Bucs will look to continue their hot start to the season and get to 3-0 for the first time since 2005 when the 0-2 Denver Broncos come to town.
