Bucs Stumble in Season Opener | Tampa Bay Buccaneers News

The Bucs stumbled to a 33-27 loss on the road against the Bengals, plagued by three first-half fumbles that gifted Cincinnati 21 points. Baker Mayfield threw for 216 yards and added a rushing TD, while Bucky Irving flashed promise with 45 yards and a score. Rookie Josiah Trotter shined with 10 tackles, a sack, and a pick-six that cut the deficit. Despite late-game momentum, turnovers kept them from pulling off the win — now 0-1, they turn to home turf next against the Browns.
