The Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked to keep things rolling this week against a stout Baltimore Ravens squad. However, that isn't how things played out, as they were highly outplayed on both sides of the ball for much of the game, eventually losing 41-31 on Monday Night Football.
The offense was clicking early, but then star wideout Mike Evans went down with an injury and then everything seemed out of flux. To make matters worse, when the game was out of hand, the Buccaneers decided to keep their starters in the game and the Bucs' best player on offense this season, wide receiver Chris Godwin, suffered a horrific injury that will likely cost him the rest of the 2024 season.
Baker Mayfield looked to be a shell of himself, throwing two interceptions that were on him and not his receivers, but the Bucs' running game once again showed up with a total of 125 yards on the ground.
Here is how the Buccaneers' offensive players graded out in their tragic loss to the Ravens on Monday Night Football.
