Tampa drove almost the entire field on each of their first quarter opportunities. The Buccaneers, on just two drives, left the first period with 12:14 time of possession. Doesn’t sound like anything to be excited about but when you dive a little deeper, Tampa’s first quarter production is a little bit exciting. Their offense had only scored three points. When the first quarter came to an end on Sunday, the Buccaneers were trailing. Vea, and the entirety of Tampa Bay’s pass rush, played sensationally against the Bears tallying six sacks. Freeing up other defenders, while holding blocks and controlling the line of scrimmage makes Vita Vea an impactful player. Vea is never one to scatter his name across the stat sheet, he ended week two with 1.5 sacks and three tackles, his impact on the Bears offense was as massive as the nose tackle himself. Tampa Bay’s nose tackle, when he is on his game, is an un-blockable force. Two games in, Evans has 237 yards on 12 catches. Mike Evans’ introductory season to Dave Canales and Baker Mayfield is off to quite a harmonious start. Evans finished with over 160 yards on five catches of all different varieties, showing the versatility he rarely gets recognized for. He went way over a 100 yards, and found his way into the endzone for the second time in as many weeks. Week two was a return to form for the future Bucs Ring of Honor member. Last week, against the Minnesota Vikings, the Buccaneers’ top receiver had just six catches for 66 yards and was noticeably absent from the first quarter. Will be excited to bring up- The Baker Mayfield to Mike Evans connection is alive and well. Any football fan knows, whether it’s meeting up with buddies at school, the casual conversation among workplace friends and rivals beside the proverbial ‘water cooler,’ or turning on your favorite sports talk show to see the cast set ablaze by the unimaginable moments they just witnessed less than 24 hours prior- Monday mornings are for bragging rights, armchair quarterbacks, and “ Did you see when?!”
