The Tampa Bay Buccaneers stand at 0-2 following a narrow 23-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Pro Football Focus has ranked the Buccaneers' offensive line as the second best in the NFL after Week 2, citing strong performances from tackles Tristan Wirfs and Luke Goedeke. Despite struggles in the interior line, with Ben Bredeson, Graham Barton, and Cody Mauch receiving low grades, the team rushed for 137 yards against the Browns.
