The Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off on “Thursday Night Football,” two teams in two different places as Week 8 kicks off.
The Buffalo Bills did something in Week 7 that almost no one thought they would: lose to the New England Patriots. They’re still 4-3 in second place in the AFC East, but losing to the struggling Patriots after scoring just 14 points against the New York Giants just a week ago? And just two weeks after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London? It’s time for some very loud alarm bells.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers went 3-3 better than expected, but they are not firing on all cylinders. Quarterback Baker Mayfield said Tuesday that he believes the Bucs are “very close” to breaking through and transforming their offense. Playing the Bills will test that, but if they are successful, they will have a chance to co-lead the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons.
Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest news, scores, injuries and highlights as the Buccaneers take on the Bills on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 8.
