The Buccaneers had no shortage of training camp storylines during the offseason, notably with the contract extension that failed to happen with QB Baker Mayfield, but this is a team that has high expectations this season. They’ll have every chance to make the postseason, but the chemistry has to start being built tonight.

The Jets haven’t been able to get over the hump the last few seasons in fielding a competitive roster, and it’s unclear if this season will be any different. Regardless, there’s plenty of young talent in New York, which should make this a fun game featuring them tonight.

Following this contest, New York will hit the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in its next preseason game. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay will head back home to host the Kansas City Chiefs next.
