baltimore ravens 27 vs tampa bay buccaneers 22

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost consecutive games to cellar-dwellers Carolina and Pittsburgh. Now, they face a must-win game against a much tougher opponent, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. 

The Buccaneers started the season with double-digit road wins at Dallas and New Orleans, but it has been mostly downhill since then. Tampa’s only win was against Atlanta and things won’t get any easier with a game against the defending champion Rams and then a trip to Germany to face the surging Seahawks. 

Tom Brady has thrown just one interception this season, but he has just 2 TD passses in 141 attempts over the past three weeks. 

The Ravens are 4-3 with their losses coming against the one-loss Bills and Giants, and to the Dolphins who are 4-0 when Tua Tagovailoa starts, as he did in Week 2 against Baltimore.

Lamar Jackson is fifth in the NFL in rushing yards with 510 and 20th in passing with 1,397 yards.
