Eagles vs. Buccaneers: Live updates, top plays, analysis, and more are on the horizon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers aim to rebound from a disappointing loss last Sunday. They have the opportunity to demonstrate that their playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last season was not merely a stroke of luck.
What adds to the excitement is the fact that they will do so in the presence of a familiar face.
When the Buccaneers (2-1) host the Eagles (2-1) in Tampa this Sunday afternoon, Tom Brady will be calling the game for FOX Sports. This appearance marks his first return to his former home since retiring after the 2022 season. Brady, who played his last three NFL seasons with the Buccaneers, famously led the team to Super Bowl LV, securing his seventh championship and the franchise’s first in 18 years.
Currently, Baker Mayfield is at the helm for the Buccaneers. He guided the team to a 9-8 record last season, including a commanding 32-9 victory over the Eagles in the playoffs. After starting this season with two wins, the Buccaneers faced a setback last week, suffering a 26-7 defeat against the Denver Broncos.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are coming off a narrow 15-12 victory against the New Orleans Saints but may be dealing with significant injuries. Their star receivers, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, along with right tackle Lane Johnson, are all questionable for the game, which could impact their offensive strategy.
This matchup is critical for both teams as they set their sights on the NFC Championship, all while an NFL icon observes from the broadcast booth.
