The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are entering a tough environment for their Week 2 contest, taking on a Detroit Lions team that eliminated them from the playoffs just a season ago. Building off a strong season-opening win against the Washington Commanders, though, the Buccaneers were a team to keep an eye on entering a new slate of games.

Quickly, the Buccaneers earned two field goals to take a quick 6-0 lead, with help from a Zyon McCollum interception -- the first of his career. The Lions responded, though, scoring a couple of field goals themselves.

It didn't take long for Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers to score a touchdown, though, as he led the team on a six-play, 70-yard touchdown-scoring drive early in the second quarter. The Buccaneers quarterback connected with Chris Godwin for a 41-yard touchdown.

The long touchdown score from Godwin propelled the Buccaneers to a 13-6 lead over the Lions. The Tampa Bay wide receiver now has his second touchdown in as many games, as offensive coordinator Liam Coen is off to a very swift start with the franchise.
