The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a 20-16 victory over the Detroit Lions, moving to 2-0 in the 2024 NFL season. Baker Mayfield led the team with a crucial 11-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, capping a six-play, 70-yard drive, and had a 41-yard touchdown pass to Chris Godwin earlier in the game. Jared Goff struggled for the Lions, throwing two interceptions and failing to capitalize on late-game opportunities, including a turnover on downs at the Bucs' 6-yard line. Aidan Hutchinson was a standout for Detroit's defense, recording five sacks. Both teams faced challenges, with the Lions' coach Dan Campbell acknowledging a costly mistake that affected their scoring chances. The win serves as a measure of revenge for Tampa Bay after losing to Detroit in the playoffs earlier this year.
