Two Must-Know Storylines for Monday Night Football
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is enjoying a standout season, currently the only NFL QB with over 10 passing touchdowns and fewer than two interceptions. His performance will be a key focus as the Buccaneers face the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Together, the Lions’ defense, which has surrendered 13 passing touchdowns – tied for fourth-most in the league – will be under scrutiny to contain Mayfield and the Buccaneers’ passing attack.
This matchup is particularly intriguing given the potential return of key buccaneers offensive players. Both rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka,who leads all rookie wide receivers with 27 receptions for 469 yards and 5 touchdowns,and veteran wide receiver Mike Evans are officially listed as questionable for the game. Mayfield has demonstrated an ability to succeed regardless of who is available,but the addition of Evans and egbuka would significantly bolster Tampa Bay’s offensive firepower.
