The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had their eyes set on this Week 2 matchup since the schedule was announced. They lost to the Detroit Lions in the divisional round of the playoffs in a close game and they believe things can go their way this time around.
This offseason, the Lions prioritized giving their secondary a facelift. They did that by investing in a first-round pick at cornerback in Terrion Arnold. They added with two more notable moves in signing Amik Robertson and then trading with the Bucs for Carlton Davis III.
The matchup between Mike Evans and Chris Godwin will be interesting against their former teammate and those new faces. Jalen McMillan, though, is a new face for all three of the new defenders.
Last week, they played the Rams, but they were without Puka Nacaua, and Cooper Kupp had over 100 yards receiving. The three-headed monster of the Bucs on offense may either prove to be too much for the new secondary or they will emerge as one of the best groups in the NFL.
