The Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to go head-to-head on “Thursday Night Football,” with both teams in contrasting situations as Week 8 commences.
In Week 7, the Buffalo Bills suffered a surprising loss to the New England Patriots, defying expectations. Though they hold a 4-3 record and sit second in the AFC East, their inability to produce more than 14 points against the New York Giants the previous week, following a heartbreaking defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London two weeks ago, raises significant concerns. Warning signs are now flashing loudly for the Bills.
On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with a 3-3 record, have outperformed predictions but are yet to reach their full potential. Quarterback Baker Mayfield expressed his belief on Tuesday that the Bucs are on the verge of a breakthrough and can turn their offense around. Their encounter with the Bills will serve as a litmus test, and if they pass, they will have an opportunity to share the lead in the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons.
