The Tampa Bay Buccaneers completed their second preseason game of the year this past weekend, dropping the matchup 20-7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team will now gear up to host the Miami Dolphins for joint practice this week before playing the team from down south in the final preseason game where we will see the Bucs' starters get their first action.

Neither team played their starters this past weekend, which could be the reason behind the sluggish feel around it. The Bucs' offense was only able to muster a single score on the night, and the defense struggled against the Jaguars' backup offense.

Although it wasn't quite as lopsided as it might have felt, these Buccaneers defenders will look to improve in their final preseason game after grading out poorly against the Jaguars.
