Niners Nation
What a day for football. There weren’t many marquee matchups, but there were some thrilling games to watch. Now, we turn our attention to Sunday Night Football, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go from one side of the country, where they gave up 44 points to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, to the other side.
Matthew Stafford won’t be too thrilled coming off a season-low 130-yard outing. Life should be much easier this week against a Bucs’ defense without its top cornerback, Jamel Dean. This same group gave up 317 yards to a depleted Bills’ corps. As we’ve seen firsthand, twice, the Rams do not struggle to throw the ball.
While the Bucs are in good graces in the playoff standings at the moment, they’ve been trending in the wrong direction for a month. This game has the makings of a fun one, as Baker Mayfield shouldn’t be counted out against anybody. But this game could get ugly in a hurry.
However, Los Angeles will be without its right tackle, Rob Havenstein, which could lead to more pressure on Stafford and more mistakes. We’ll see.
Let’s go with 31-17, Rams.
