Important stories

The rundown

Tampa Bay first went on the road in Week 3 this season and their game in Los Angeles ended in an eye-opening loss that displayed a handful of issues that the Buccaneers needed to clean up, particularly in pass defense as well as efficiency on conversion downs. A week later, the Bucs traveled to New England and pulled off a victory, but much was the same: Tampa Bay struggled to win the game and had areas of its performance to clean up.

A lot of improvement could be seen when the Bucs returned home and defeated Miami this past Sunday by a score of 45-17. Now, Tampa Bay gets another try to prove its dominance on the road with a matchup against an Eagles team that has some offensive firepower and a pass defense that could find a way to slow the Bucs' offense down a bit.

Philadelphia is probably not going to be a serious threat in the NFC this year, but it has played well against tough competition so far in 2021. For example, Philly was able to squeeze out a win against formerly 3-1 Carolina on Sunday and kept up with Kansas City for the majority of their Week 3 contest with the Chiefs until the end of the game.

We're expecting a Buccaneers win on Thursday night, but that will require a much-improved road performance from Tampa Bay against a Philly team that has caused problems for its opponents in 2021, even if their record doesn't show it.
