PFF ranks Buccaneers offensive line second despite 0-2 start
Summary

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. PFF's ranking considers a player's past three seasons and emphasizes pass protection, indicating that the ranking focuses on potential rather than immediate performance.
