Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fall to Lions | Mayfield’s Tough Night & Mike Evans Injury Fallout | Full Game Recap
Manage episode 514930176 series 3010933
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, and it was a game dominated by Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs. The rookie running back exploded for 218 total yards and two touchdowns, torching Tampa Bay’s defense from start to finish. Baker Mayfield had one of his worst outings of the 2025 season, completing just 28 of 50 passes for 228 yards with one touchdown and one interception. To make matters worse, wide receiver Mike Evans exited early with a broken collarbone and a concussion — a devastating blow for the Bucs’ offense and playoff hopes.
Despite the setback, Tampa Bay still sits at 5-2, but the loss exposed offensive issues and depth concerns that could shape the second half of the season. The defense couldn’t contain Gibbs, the offense faltered on third down, and the absence of Evans will force Todd Bowles and the coaching staff to adjust fast before their crucial divisional matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Fans and analysts alike are asking — can the Bucs bounce back and stay in the NFC playoff race?
