The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to kick off their first preseason game of the year against the New York Jets, and they’re scheduled to kick off at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey at 7 p.m.

If you’re looking to follow along with the game or can’t catch it on TV, we’ll be live-blogging the game right here for all four quarters. Follow along with us and catch all the highlights as the Bucs get their first look at their rookies, key depth players and more:

First Quarter

– The Jets win the toss and defer, so the Bucs are gonna get the rock first here to start things off — Connor Bazelak gets the start at QB.

– 15:00-14:02: Tampa Bay’s drive stalls quick. QB Connor Bazelak throws an incompletion to Ted Hurst, Sean Tucker runs for four yards on second down and then Bazelak is sacked by Will McDonald on third down before punting.

– 13:13-7:13: The Jets march all the way down the field (while playing their starters, outside of quarterback Geno Smith). Quarterback Cade Klubnik goes 4/6 for 51 yards against the Bucs defense, but Tampa Bay is able to stop them at the nine-yard line and force them to kick. 3-0 Jets.

– 7:02-5:17: Ted Hurst gets some good work here, with two back to back targets — he catches the first one and a second one is ruled incomplete, and after a Todd Bowles challenge, still incomplete. The Bucs can’t get anything going after that, and they punt on 4th & 4 back to the Jets.

– 4:25-2:15: The Jets get within striking distance of the red zone and then take it all the way in off a 31-yard scamper by running back Braelon Allen for a touchdown. The extra point is good, so it’s 10-0 Jets as the first quarter dies down.

– 1:59-0:00: The Bucs make a little bit of progress and get past midfield on a Connor Bazelak scramble before the first quarter comes to an end.
