The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got the ball first against the Baltimore Ravens, giving them a chance to strike first on Monday Night Football.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield got off to a quick start, taking the first play for a six-yard scramble to get the ball moving. On the opening drive, he completed two passes, the first of which going to Rachaad White for 18 yards. The next pass was a 25-yard touchdown strike to Mike Evans, who caught his 100th career touchdown pass.
