The Buccaneers put on an offensive masterclass in their first game of the season against the Washington Commanders, but since then they have found things hard to come by on that side of the ball, only putting 20 up on the Lions and drastically falling off this past week against the Broncos where they only managed a single touchdown over the entire contest.

Seven points isn't nearly enough to cut it in the NFL today and as the game went on the Bucs seemed to lose all consistency and balance they had to their offense early in the season. Baker looked shocked in the pocket, made some bad throws and cost his team a number of possessions due to putting himself in situations to be sacked.

Overall, the Buccaneers offense did not look good and they will want to recalibrate after this past Sunday's performance. Here are the highest and lowest graded Buccaneers' offensive players from their 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos.
