The Bucs face another must win, divisional matchup and the second one in a row without star receiver Emeka Egbuka who is out with a foot injury.

In rainy conditions we know the run game will be important - but Cade Otton has a chance to emerge as a big weapon for the Bucs on Sunday.

It's not easy to pressure Michael Penix Jr., but if the Bucs can find a way then good things are going to happen.

Bucs haven't beaten the Falcons in Raymond James since 2022 and the Bucs are in desperate need of that streak coming to an end.

Kyle Pitts, not Bijan Robinson, has been the Falcon that the Bucs haven't been able to stop. That must change this time around.

Baker Mayfield is back under center for the Buccaneers, but they will be without wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and right tackle Luke Goedeke in a must win game vs Carolina.

The key for this one is simple - win the ground game on both sides of the ball and you could escape Carolina with an upset win to keep yourself in the thick of the NFC South race.

The Bucs' red zone offense has been bad this year - and it's among the league's worst. For as much as the offense struggled under Josh Grizzard, red zone efficiency is down across the board in 2026

David Walker is arguably the best defensive weapon the Bucs have - but they aren't using him nearly enough.

Was the decision to kick off in overtime the right one by Todd Bowles?

The Buccaneers blew a 16-3 lead by allowing 16 unanswered fourth quarter points to the Steelers before losing in overtime 26-19.

Jalon Daniels played like an undrafted rookie and while Zac Robinson didn't do him any favors, it's clear that the calls for Daniels to remain the starter were premature at best.

Baker Mayfield is still not ready to go, so Jalon Daniels gets the call for the third straight week. Meanwhile the Bucs will once again be without Antoine Winfield Jr.

The Bucs look for their first home win of the season and to string back to back wins together for the first time in over a year.

Aaron Rodgers has struggled historically against Bowles - and he's definitely struggling against the blitz this season - so Bowles needs to dial up the pressure.

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
