I can\u2019t watch any more of this defense. I\u2019m not going to learn anything new at this point. Because if I learn something new I obviously didn\u2019t do my job throughout the week.\u2019 It\u2019s just that long waiting game on game day. I\u2019d rather wake up [and] go play because you\u2019re just so amped up and ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s start will be earlier than usual, since the first game starts at 7:00 p.m. ET. (Chargers-Raiders kicks off at 10:00 p.m. ET.) And it\u2019ll be 6:00 p.m. ET in Houston, so maybe it\u2019s not really a night game, technically?<\/p>\n<p>Under coach Todd Bowles, the Buccaneers are 3-9 in night games.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that Mayfield made his NFL debut seven years ago this month, on a Thursday night against the Jets. After Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion, Mayfield entered the game \u2014 and he led the Browns to a victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buccaneers visit the Texans next Monday night, on the front end of a non-overlapping doubleheader.
