The Buccaneers will be without starting running back Leonard Fournette but rookie Rachaad White is coming off his best performance as a pro. White and quarterback Tom Brady have been developing better chemistry over the middle part of the 2022 season. Cleveland may be in a slump but Tampa Bay's defense will be tested by the duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett tossed for 324 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to Buffalo.
