The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't do anything drastic to improve their offense from a season ago. Some tinkering on the offensive line and some skill players for depth were the only real moves that the Bucs made outside of retaining their key players in Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield and Tristan Wirfs.

The one glaring aspect of the Bucs' offense that is different than a year ago is the coordinator spot after former offensive coordinator Dave Canales left for the Carolina head coaching gig, paving the way for Liam Coen to become the team's next OC.

Coen didn't disappoint in his first game leading the Buccaneers offense as Baker Mayfield and company put up fantastic stats on their way to reaching 37 total points.

Below we have highlighted the Bucs' best and worst-graded players by Pro Football Focus (PFF) from their blowout win over the Commanders.
