Important stories

The rundown

Two teams that are seemingly going in opposite directions will face off at Raymond James Stadium today, as the Buccaneers advanced to 3-1 with a win over the Patriots last week despite injuries continuing to pile up. As for the Dolphins, injuries haven't been at a massive concern across the roster (besides at quarterback, as Tua Tagovailoa is set to miss his third game with fractured ribs), and yet the team has limped to a 1-3 record to start the year, even though expectations were high entering 2021.

For Tampa Bay, unless the Dolphins' defense can put up a good fight (their offense probably won't, as it has regressed with Jacoby Brissett at QB), this is expected to be a game where the Buccaneers can hone in on improving their play across the board in hopes of putting together their first complete game of the season.

The Bucs' offense has lulled in the past two weeks compared to their first two - keep in mind, the first two matchups were at home - while their defense played its best game of the season in Week 4, even with injuries plaguing the secondary and affecting the pass rush.

With two starters expected to return to the lineup defensively - albeit, the unit is still not close to full health - perhaps that complete game will finally come against a Miami team that has failed to come close to its goals.
